Family College Solutions, a business located in Stockton, MO, is dedicated to helping families plan for their children’s college education.  Planning for college can be an overwhelming process, but with the help of Family College Solutions, it need not be,

Every college applicant must fill out and submit a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid.) This form determines your child’s eligibility for student aid. Colleges also use the FAFSA to determine how much aid your child will receive and how much of the aid is in the form of a grant or scholarship. Grant and scholarship money doesn’t have to be paid back. Student loan money does have to be paid back.

Over 80% of all FAFSAs submitted contain mistakes that cost families a lot of money. This is one reason why almost three billion dollars of federal aid is left unclaimed each year.

Family College Solutions also offers a comprehensive ACT prep course to boost your child’s ACT score and increase their chances of not only getting into a better school but also increasing the probability of receiving an increase in merit based aid from the college. They also offer a comprehensive career selection program to focus your child’s selection of their major which means they will graduate faster than those who change their major. Less time in college means less out of pocket expenses.

Family College Solutions is there to make your life easy when it comes to planning your child’s college education. There will be free workshop from 7-8 p.m. on Wed., Sept 20, at the Cedar County Library, 808 S. Main. El Dorado Springs and from 7-8 p.m. Thurs., Sept 21, at the Cedar County Library Stockton Branch at 717 East St., Stockton.
