An Introduction to Financial Aid

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the idea of paying for college? Is this your first time putting your child through college and you don’t know what to expect?

We want families to know that financial aid is not limited to special groups, in fact most families are eligible to qualify. However, if you’re not an expert in the rules and regulations and do not understand the financial application process, you may hurt your chances of receiving aid. Whether you have a good income and have saved for years to fund your child’s education, or you have nothing saved and have just started to think about it, we can help you secure your child’s future.

Throughout the year we provide free financial aid workshops for you and your family to attend in Monmouth, Ocean, and Union counties. These informative workshops help you learn about the wide variety of services that will make your life easier. They include everything you need to know about financial aid and financial aid planning. You’ll learn innovative strategies for funding college and learn how to navigate the college admissions maze. Also included are tips that will help prepare your child for a successful college experience and increase the chance that they will be accepted into the college of their choice.

Here at Ecliptic Financial Advisors we are also focused on guiding students through the college admission process through our services. The services we provide helps students to determine their interests, courses of study, and preferences. Through use of these services, students are less likely to transfer schools or change majors, both of which can add to the cost of college.

That's all for now, please be sure to follow our blog for more college funding tips!
