While federal regulations do require that you and (if dependent) your parents contribute towards your college expenses, as professionals, we focus on your financial needs not covered by your expected family contribution(s) and also based on your meeting aid program eligibility requirements. We strive to maximize your financial aid awards with grants, scholarships, low-interest student loans with easy repayment terms, and other types of resources.
