Interpreting Your Next Generation’s College Financial Aid Letter

Your Family CFO Team • Apr 23, 2019

Many questions arise as parents send their next generation off to college.  Some of the biggest questions are related to financial aid and fully understanding what your letter says.

Wording in financial aid letters is often confusing.  Without completely understanding the letter, you or you next generation could be on the hook for more money than expected after graduation.

Part of what we do as Your Family CFO is work with you through life’s many cycles.  This includes not only your life cycles, but your next generations’ as well.  We work with your children to ensure they are set up for financial success as they begin their journey to higher education!
