How High School Juniors Can Get Ahead in the College Process
For families with high school juniors, the pressure of college planning is just around the corner. But those who act early often receive the most financial aid and have the most college choices available. This year is about building momentum.
Here’s What Junior Year Families Should Be Doing Now:
-
Research colleges based on financial fit, not just brand name
-
Begin test prep for the ACT/SAT to maximize merit aid eligibility
-
Narrow down a list of schools that historically give generous aid
-
Understand how your financial picture will affect FAFSA and CSS Profile results
-
Look ahead to deadlines so there’s no last-minute scrambling
Why It Matters
Colleges favor early planners—early applicants often receive better financial aid offers. And understanding your Expected Family Contribution now gives you time to adjust assets or income before it’s too late.
Start the Process With Confidence
With guidance, junior-year families can stay ahead of the curve, reduce stress, and position themselves for significant savings.
