How High-Income Families Can Still Qualify for Financial Aid
When it comes to college financial aid, many families mistakenly believe that earning a high income means automatic disqualification. While need-based aid may be reduced, there are still significant opportunities to reduce the cost of college—if you know where to look. High-income families often miss out on thousands of dollars simply because they don’t understand how the system really works.
At Diversified College Planning, we specialize in helping high-income households navigate aid strategies that go beyond the FAFSA. From positioning assets correctly to identifying schools that offer generous merit scholarships, we help families reduce college expenses—regardless of income.

What high-income families need to know:
-
Many private schools offer merit-based aid regardless of income
-
The CSS Profile considers more financial details, but can be planned for
-
Strategic asset positioning can reduce assessed contribution
-
Some colleges “discount” tuition for all students via institutional grants
Financial aid is not a one-size-fits-all process. With over 6,000 colleges in the U.S., the key is identifying schools where your student is most likely to receive aid—and that’s where we come in. Diversified College Planning uses proprietary tools and institutional aid insights to uncover opportunities that most advisors and families never see.
