What If You Haven’t Started College Planning Yet? It’s Not Too Late.
If your student is heading into junior or even senior year and you haven’t started planning yet, you’re not alone—and you’re not out of luck. While it’s ideal to start early, we work with dozens of families every year who come to us mid-process, often overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next.
The good news? Strategic moves made now can still lead to tens of thousands in savings and better outcomes.
Here’s where to focus first:
-
Calculate your Student Aid Index (SAI)—not just your income. You might qualify for more aid than you think.
-
Build a smart college list based on financial fit, not just name or geography.
-
Understand your deadlines. Applications, FAFSA, CSS Profile, and scholarship forms all stack up quickly.
-
Know how to compare aid offers. Don’t assume the biggest scholarship means the best deal.
