2016 Guide To College Financial Aid, The FAFSA And CSS Profile
Unfortunately, almost everything you’ve read about college financial aid is probably wrong.
New rules affecting when and how students apply for financial aid will impact families and colleges over the next few years, but its not just the new information that renders a lot of what you’ve read about college aid to be wrong.
Much of the information on the internet, presented at college aid nights, in print in leading financial publications and disseminated by guidance counselors and the financial industry is either wrong to begin with, misleading or out of context.
Often part of the story is correct, but it’s only correct in the context of specific situations. It’s the reason the answer to almost all college planning questions is – it depends.
