GUIDANCE COUNSELORS

CFS provides free financial aid workshops for high schools throughout the Northeast.

The 1-hour power-point presentation is a comprehensive tutorial for high and/or college parents.

There is no solicitation and/or mention of services during the presentation. The workshop is very interactive as attendees are encouraged to ask question throughout.

Some of the content includes:

• How to minimize your Expected Family Contribution (EFC)
• Student assets vs. parent assets
• How to value your home
• How colleges view 529 and other education savings plans
• How colleges view retirement plans and retirement contributions
• Which schools offer the most need-based and/or merit-based money
• How to negotiate and improve your initial financial aid award with colleges

We have worked for years to develop the best possible financial aid workshop available. We believe we have reached that status and continue to evolve and improve with each presentation.

We have dozens of guidance counselors, PTA members, and administrators that serve as enthusiastic referrals for our program.
