We will analyze the offer from each school to determine if each award is an excellent, fair, or poor award. Criteria such as the GPA, SAT scores, community service, athletic prowess, musical ability, and financial need affect the financial aid package that is offered. Also what must be taken into consideration is the school's past history in how they have traditionally met financial need and awarded academic merit.

Award letters can sometimes be confusing because they can offer several different types of aid. Obviously scholarships and grants are better than loans. However, some schools add certain conditions to scholarships such as the student maintaining a certain GPA in college. Some schools may only offer a grant for the first year.

We can compare your student's awards from their schools to determine which one would benefit the student the most. Through our analysis, we can determine if it is to the student's benefit to appeal a college's award package.
