Maximizing Financial Aid For Athletes
I see it happen year after year…
Will it happen to you?
Athletes are getting much less financial aid than they're entitled to because they're totally focused on landing an athletic scholarship. They miss the big financial aid picture!
Simply put…there's billions of dollars more in financial aid available from the Federal Government, State Governments, Tax Credits, School Scholarships and Outside Scholarships compared to Athletic Scholarships.
You must penetrate both the athletic and other pools of money to maximize your financial aid.
The Good News Is
You have an unfair advantage in getting scholarships!
You can go after all this other money in addition to athletic scholarships. Only athletes can go after athletic scholarships. You have an extra pool of money to go after that most students don't have available.
After all…do you really care if your school gives you an athletic scholarship, academic scholarship or both? Of course not! They all reduce the cost of going to college.
You Can Help The Coach Give You Money!
You're doing everything possible to market and sell yourself as an athlete, can you imagine getting into one of the super athletic Boise colleges!? You've got regular mail and email going out to coaches, video clips, skills tapes, bio, school grades, athletic stats, newspaper clippings and more working for you.
The real questions are…where are you on the coaches depth chart and how much money does the coach have available?
You'll never really know the answer to these questions. That's why we have to help the coach get money that's not in their budget. This makes you a more desirable candidate for them to land. Help the coach stretch their budget and it increases your chances of making the team and increases your chances of getting financial aid.
Here's What You Need To Do
Take control of the entire financial aid process and not just the athletic scholarship. To do this you must:
- Calculate your Expected Family Contribution (EFC)
- Learn how to lower your EFC to qualify for more financial aid
- Correctly complete your Free Application for Financial Aid (FAFSA) early
- Effectively and persuasively negotiate your financial aid package
In a nutshell, everyone that wants financial aid must submit their personal and financial information on a form called FAFSA. After it's submitted, a calculation is done to determine what your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is. Your EFC is the minimum amount colleges expect you to pay toward school. Lowering your EFC increases your financial need and opens up the doors to receiving financial aid from the Government and school. This will help both you and the coach.
There are many ways to reduce the EFC for families that own a home have parents that are divorced or separated have savings and investments have their own business or are self-employed.
I can't say this strongly enough to you. Discover how you can lower your EFC from an expert by clicking here. The combination of the strategies recommended here plus everything you are doing to get an athletic scholarship will greatly increase the probability of your securing financial aid.
To Get More Financial Aid....
- Learn how to get your EFC as low as possible
- Let the coach know what your EFC is as soon as you can Get your FAFSA in early. You're allowed to use estimates. Don't wait to do your tax return to complete FAFSA.
- Don't make any mistakes on your FAFSA or it could be rejected and your schools might not consider you for financial aid because they don't have your FAFSA information.
- Never believe your financial aid offer is final. You should always try to negotiate the financial aid package.
Do It The Easy Way!
You're doing everything possible to increase your exposure to land an athletic scholarship by following my program. College is expensive and there's tremendous competition for the few athletic scholarships that really exist. Only 50% of D1 and D2 student-athletes receive some athletic scholarship money and "some" could be a few hundred or a few thousand dollars a year. Most full scholarships are awarded for football and basketball recruits and coaches at the rest of the NCAA sports divide a small amount of scholarship money amongst 15 to 30 players on a given team. We know many D1 programs with one scholarship for that they must use for the entire team. If you are looking at a private school upwards of $35,000 a year and the coach offers you $3,000 in scholarship money, somehow you are going to have to find an additional $32,000 if you are interested in attending that University.
More than anything else, I want you to have every opportunity to continue competing in your sport and to reduce the cost of college. For you to accomplish this you must take control of the entire financial aid process.
I've done the research, read the books and surfed the net to find what I believe is the best single source of information to bring this together for you in one place.
