Do You Know?
Financial Aid is often FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. Once you pass January 1st of your child’s Sophmore year in high school, your ability to get maximum financial aid may start to decrease. That doesn't mean it's too late to do anything after that date. It's seldom too late to start the process, but it's also never too early. Don't wait any longer to get started!
