COLLEGE ADMISSIONS GRADE BY GRADE: WHAT TO DO NOW.....
12th Grade..."Pay it forward" to families that will be going through the college admissions process next year, by sharing information on the merit scholarships and financial aid offers your student received. Fill out our 2018 Merit and Financial Aid Survey.  

It's time to turn your attention to the final details of how you'll be paying for college. Do you have enough resources to cover what's left after financial aid and scholarships? If there's the potential your student needs a loan, start understanding interest rates and what it means to cosign a student loan. Use our calculator to compare all the numbers to choose the best loan offer.

We know getting into college is just the first step and the journey continues in college and post graduation. We recently created a new group to help parents with financial decisions while their student is in college and post graduation. Join us at Paying Off Student Loans 101.


11th Grade...College fairs are popular in spring. Attending a college fair is a great way to get information from many colleges and meet their reps, all in one place. Review our college fair tips to make sure your student is prepared to make a great impression.
