Financial Aid Forms Processing
Ah yes, the paperwork! Financial Aid Forms Processing is similar to tax preparation, although there's no Turbo-Tax counterpart for financial aid forms. And it's difficult for families to know with certainty if they've completed everything properly, especially if they have complex tax situations or a sophisticated structure of assets.
The 90% Lie Exposed
There's a fabricated statistic that has NO basis whatsoever that refuses to die:
"90 percent of FAFSA forms submitted have errors or inconsistencies, according to the Dept of Education".
THIS IS FICTION, actually it's a flat-out lie - so if you ever hear a College Funding "expert" claim this at Financial Aid Night, you would be best served to stand up and leave the event! That is, unless you'd like to have some fun and grill them for their "source" material for this statistic. Their ploy is a simple one: to frighten parents into signing up with their service, whatever that may be - whether or not you even qualify for any need-based money.
We're Here To Help
At GetCollegeFunding we do NOT frighten anyone into hiring us for Financial Aid Forms processing. But here's what we HAVE observed over the years: Some moms and dads impeccably prepare FAFSA forms, while others do indeed make errors, some of them huge, resulting in highly inflated EFC's and preventing the family from qualifying for need-based money when in reality the ARE need-eligible. Those are the facts.
Many families do indeed turn to us every year to prepare their forms - the FAFSA, CSS Profile, even the Institutional forms required by many private colleges. We are experts on these forms - and if you'd like our assistance, we want you to know that you can count on us to process them accurately and on time.
You Do - We Review?
For families who are good at completing forms and want to do it themselves BUT want to ensure they've done them correctly before submitting to the Dept of Education and/or the College Board, we offer a Forms Processing Service that we call "You Do, We Review". So whatever level of support you require for processing your financial aid forms, we're here for you.
