FINANCES ❑ Complete a Financial Analysis with College AIM. (April)
During your financial analysis, you will look at the total cost of attendance, all of your financial aid and how much money is left over for you to pay (your gap). You can complete a financial analysis of several schools so that you know which will really be the most affordable for you. Once you determine your gap, you will develop a plan to fill that gap and pay the remaining amount.
❑ Review your Financial Aid Award. (April) This should be on your college’s web portal. Read over it and make sure that you understand it. If you have questions, ask College AIM for clarification or contact your school’s financial aid office. If your portal says there are any other steps you need to do to apply for financial aid (like verification) get on it ASAP. If you need help, ask College AIM or reach out to your school’s financial aid office. If you want to appeal for additional financial aid, ask College AIM for help.
