This week I got a referral to a family nervous about how to pay the $52,000 the school is looking for next year!

Their son received his Financial Aid letter and is of course very excited about heading to school this Fall.

His parents though are worried about the high cost and debt and worry how they will pay for it.

The first thing I asked was what is the school offering since the amount owed is so large.

Looking at their Financial Aid Award letter I was shocked to see the school had offered them NO school based Financial Aid despite having a demonstrated financial hardship.

Was it an oversight? Was it an error?

Before committing yourself to $1000s in debt please be certain you received all that you should/could have!

If I can help please let me know.

This family is appealing the award and will hopefully get substantially more funds from the school without the need for substantial debt!
