SHOULD COLLEGE BOUND FAMILIES FEAR THE FAFSA

Lake Oswego, OR-December 2007 What is FAFSA? The Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Why is this important? Every college bound student looking for some sort of financial aid, must complete the FAFSA.

With college expenses increasing at an annual rate of 5 to 7 percent, families are finding it more difficult to simply write a check. The days no longer exists that a part-time job at Starbuck’s will help tackle the cost of a four year state institution. Families today must take into consideration current spending habits, savings, and future retirement implications when planning for their children’s college education. While there is no magic solution, families do have an option.

“Completing the application without understanding the system will result in potential thousands of dollars in lost aid,” says David Grbavac, College Funding Advisor for The College Funding Coach Northwest, “Being able to structure and restructure current assets and liabilities could prove key to lowering the expected family contribution.”

Families often fear they make too much money to receive financial aid when completing the FAFSA. However, approaching college planning far enough in advance and analyzing the entire financial situation will increase the opportunity to receive financial aid.
