Free FAFSA Review

“EPR was kind enough to review my FAFSA before I filed it. They found a critical error that would have cost me an additional $7,200 per year in lost financial aid. Thank you! If only my sister had known about your services!”

The average family will overpay for college by 10-20% because they don’t have a strategy to keep their costs low, or to find the more generous colleges. Every game plan begins with a starting point, and for college that starting point is FAFSA. FAFSA is also where 90% of all errors occur that contribute to the pain of high loans and increased debt upon graduation.

What will you receive

An instant estimate of how much you may overpay for college. You will also have the ability to take advantage of a complimentary session with a certified college strategist, followed by a custom road map for your family with step by step instructions on how to control your cost of college.

BASE COST (EFC) = W
ANNUAL OUT OF POCKET COST = X
o A = $5,000: If A- W is negative, X = A
LIFETIME COST = Y ($5,000 A-W negative)
o A = $5,000: else X = W
LIFETIME COST = Y ($5,000 A-W positive)
o A = $25,000: If A- W is negative, X = A
LIFETIME COST = Y ($25,000 A-W negative)
o A = $25,000: else X = W + ((A – W) * 0.75)
LIFETIME COST = Y ($25,000 A-W positive)
o A = $50,000: If A- W is negative, X = A
LIFETIME COST = Y ($50,000 A-W negative)
o A = $50,000: else X = W + ((A – W) * 0.50)
LIFETIME COST = Y ($50,000 A-W positive)
o A = $70,000: If A- W is negative, X = A
LIFETIME COST = Y ($70,000 A-W negative)
o A = $70,000: else X = W + ((A – W) * 0.07)
LIFETIME COST = Y ($70,000 A-W positive)
