Note – Some examples show before and after funding offers. This increase in funding comes after College Funding Solutions, Inc. determined an “appeal” of the original funding offer was necessary by comparing the funding being offered to past awards. We then devised and employed an appeal strategy for the student and family.
- Examples of before and after Student Aid Reports.

A Student Aid Report (SAR) contains the results of the required Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Included on the SAR is the Expected Family Contribution (EFC), which is the amount that the family is expected to “contribute” each year towards the cost of the student’s higher education. Most often, the lower the EFC, the more funding the student is eligible to receive.
Important Note – Please be advised that these examples are from those who have attempted to file the FAFSA themselves, and then turned to College Funding Solutions, Inc. for assistance. We most often DO NOT enroll a student in our program after the FAFSA filing window opens; however, there have been a few cases where another student in the family was enrolled as the “base student” and the second student was added. - Private Sector Scholarship Awards that our clients have received.

There are several factors such as family participation; the student’s academic and extracurricular achievements; and the student’s higher educational goals, for example, that will obviously produce a variance in results from student to student.
