The Early Advantage
Starting in 9th or 10th grade gives families more time to:

• Build strong academic and extracurricular resumes

• Research colleges that offer the most aid

• Position assets to maximize financial aid

• Prepare for standardized tests

• Create a realistic budget

Why Senior Year Is Too Late
By the time your student is a senior, most financial aid positioning opportunities are gone. College lists are rushed. Test prep is stressful. And families often miss out on key aid deadlines.

Middle School Isn’t Too Early
Some families even begin general financial planning in middle school—especially those with multiple children or higher incomes that reduce need-based aid eligibility.

Get Ahead of the Curve
Proactive planning results in smarter school choices, more aid, and a less stressful experience for both students and parents.
