Financial Aid: We know financial aid has always been one of the most complicated components of the application process. We still plan to hold our financial aid night this September for senior families, but suggest that as a family you begin discussing college costs now and begin to estimate college affordability. Parents- please do not leave this step to your child. The more honest and open you are with them now will avoid conflict and disappointment later next year.
EFC Calculator: Utilize this tool to look ahead and see how much your family will be estimated to contribute for college costs each year
Net Price Calculator: Each College has this on their website. This would give you a college specific estimate on college costs.
Application Tips & Updates: Parents- We have gone through the College Handbook with your daughter and recommend you read through and familiarize yourself as well!
