Best for families who want the deep financial aid strategy that actually reduces costs.
Description:
A comprehensive system that explains how financial aid really works behind the scenes — including COA adjustments, internal funding pools, institutional grants, documentation strategy, timing windows, and the hidden processes colleges rarely explain. Designed for families who want clarity, leverage, and a step-by-step roadmap to reduce college costs in meaningful, realistic ways.
Includes:
Full COA (Cost of Attendance) audit system
What qualifies for COA increases + actual documentation examples
Internal funding categories (retention, emergency, completion, departmental, donor-based)
Work-study reallocation strategy
Timing roadmap (when to request what)
Template language for contacting departments and aid offices
How to stack institutional funds with outside scholarships
A realistic savings model (what’s possible vs. what is not)
