Costly Mistakes Most Parents Make

  • Most middle/upper-middle class parents assume they won't be eligible for financial aid because they own a home and make over $75,000 per year.

  • Assuming only minority students, athletes, and academically gifted students get financial aid.

  • Picking colleges and universities without paying attention to where your child lies in comparison to the rest of the student body.

  • Assuming all schools are created equal and will be able to give you the same amount of money.

  • Not understanding the difference between "includable assets" and "non-includable assets".

  • Having the notion: "My CPA or tax preparer is qualified to fill out my financial aid forms and help me through the college admissions and financial aid process - I'll let him/her do it".

  • Waiting until January (or even later) of your child's senior year of high school to start working on your college financial planning.

  • Going through the college admissions and financial aid process by yourself because it's "cheaper".
