Think You Make Too Much for Financial Aid?

Income is only one part of what a college costs your family, and there's no income cutoff to file the FAFSA. This free checklist shows what to do, and when, from 9th grade to the day your student commits.

What is in the checklist

  1. When to talk about your college budget, before your student falls for a school.
  2. When to look at merit aid, which is not based on income.
  3. When to review the college list for cost, not only for fit.
  4. When to get ready for the FAFSA and other aid forms.
  5. How to compare offers by what you would actually pay.
