Why Financial Fit Matters

Every family’s financial situation is unique — and each college has its own financial aid formula. Without expert support, families often leave money on the table. Financial Fit helps families:

  • Understand their true eligibility for need-based and merit aid
  • Strategize a school list with financial return in mind
  • Navigate complex situations (divorce, self-employment, multiple kids in college, life changes)
  • Prepare, review, and appeal financial aid packages to maximize outcomes
  • Lighten the mental load of forms, deadlines, and negotiations
