Many families think the financial aid process is simply entering numbers on the FAFSA website (Free Application for Federal Student-Aid) but the process can be much more complicated than that and small factors or changes in your financial profile can mean thousands of dollars in your EFC calculation. There are over 100 questions on the FAFSA form and some are basic and some are not. There are also issues with CSS Profiles, asset management and even separate applications for institutional financial aid.

For recruited athletes, the financial aid process can be even more important, as how much aid you need or qualify for often dictates whom a coach can or cannot recruit. A coach will often ask themselves, "can this athlete afford to come to my school?" If the answer is no, they will have to turn to other recruits that qualify for more financial aid or that come from families that have more financial resources.
