Frequently Asked Questions

What is financialaidsupersite.com all about?

The goal of financialaidsupersite.com is to help parents have a better understanding of the college financial aid process and provide affordable financial aid services to help parents with their financial aid package for their children.

Can I find out information about my submitted FAFSA at financialaidsupersite.com?

Sorry, you are at the wrong site. You will need to go to http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/.

Your financial aid services seem less expensive than what most other financial aid companies charge? How come?

We have no hidden agenda. We have a system that we have been following for the last 10 years and it works. We offer our financial aid services to parents direct through the Internet. Since no sales force is used on the internet we were able to come up with a price that is affordable for everyone.

If I enroll for your services, do you guarantee financial aid?

We make no guarantees that you will receive any financial aid. No one person or company can do that. As a matter of fact, any financial aid company that guarantees you financial aid is simply going to guarantee that you will receive a Stafford Loan. Anyone can qualify for that.

What's the best time to sign up for your financial aid services?

We have helped freshman in high school, all the way up to juniors in college. The more time we have to work with you, the more we can help you.

Do you have any references? How can I check you out?

We do not give out personal references, as we keep all of our client's information confidential. If you're looking to check us out, we have been quoted in such publications as Newsweek, Smart Money Magazine, and US News & World Report among others. You can read about this further in the About Us link.

Can you help returning students/adults going back to college?

Certainly. We can help adults returning to college.

Do you give discounts for 2 students or for all 3 of my children?

We give incentives (discounts), if you sign up more than 1 student. When you enroll in our Insider's Fast Track Program you will see detailed information about our family plan.

My son is a freshman in high school, and I would like to enroll now. Do I have to pay your fee each and every year he is in High School?

No. You are only charged a one-time enrollment fee and a small limited monthly fee, which covers our service for all four years of college. Remember, the more time we have to work with you, the better your chances for the desired results. Don't wait until the last minute.

I haven't completed any financial aid forms and I was supposed to complete the forms several months ago. Is it too late?

It's almost never to late to apply for financial aid. You may not get what you're entitled to, but that doesn't mean you should not apply. When a student is late completing the forms, we try to do everything we can for that year, and set it up so the student will get everything they are entitled to the following year.

Why should I pay to use your services? I've been told that I can go through the financial aid process on my own.

The million-dollar question! We mention throughout our site that the financial aid process can certainly be done on your own. We liken ourselves to an accountant. You can do your taxes on your own, but yet most people use an accountant to help them lower the taxes they have to pay. You can go through the financial aid process on your own, or have a professional group of consultant's help you with your financial aid.

If you're the type of parent who enjoys doing research, completing numerous forms, and appealing for more financial aid, then by all means you should do it on your own. But if you're looking for the convenience of having someone take care of these things for you and holding your hand during the entire financial aid process all for a very affordable fee, then you should enroll in our Insider's Fast Track Program.

Is it safe to order using my credit card?

Absolutely. It is actually much safer than using cash, checks or anything else. We have never lost a number or had a card number stolen. We use a secure order form.

Do you sell or rent any of my personal information?

Absolutely not. We take your privacy very seriously. Your personal information is kept in the strictest confidence.

I went to a financial aid seminar last night, and they were charging $$$$$$ for their financial aid services. Do you do what they do?

Financial aid consulting is one business where bigger is not necessarily better. Be very wary of these large organizations that travel through your town, charging you X amount of dollars, but if you order that night they only charge you X minus X, and guarantee you thousands of dollars of financial aid. Not only are these types of companies out to take your money, but most companies provide only a fraction of what we offer.

What happens after I enroll?

Shortly after you enroll we will be emailing you our 800-client phone number along with our financial data form to complete. That's all we need to get started.

Can I call you on the phone before I enroll? I have a few questions.

Sure, give us a call any time between 9-5 EST. Give us a call at 203-245-2136. And guess what! You will speak to a real person, not that nice lady who always says "listen carefully, as our menu options have changed".
