YOUR GUIDE

Greg Stevens

Greg has helped families pay less for college since 2010. He focuses only on the financial side, not admissions: how the FAFSA and CSS Profile formulas work, how colleges use enrollment management to decide who gets merit money, and how to appeal an offer that falls short.

Common questions

Isn't the FAFSA free?

Yes. You can file it yourself at no cost at studentaid.gov. The Senior Edition fee is for strategy and guidance: what to report, when to file, which schools fit, and how to respond to your offers.

Can you guarantee more aid?

No one honestly can. Colleges make the final decisions. What we can promise is that you'll understand your options and act on them before the deadlines pass.

Do you sell financial products?

Greg is a licensed insurance and annuity professional, but the Senior Edition doesn't include any product, and you're never obligated to buy anything.

What if we're starting late?

That's why we offer a Late-Season Rate of $1,000 through November 30. And if you've already filed and just need help with your offers, see our Financial Aid Appeals Package.

Let's make senior year count.
