College Families Are Taking Steps To Overcome Financial Aid Shortfalls

Richmond, Virginia – SayStudent.Com, the Richmond, VA-based college student financial aid planning site, is currently showcasing their financial aid charts in a bid to assist families as they look for ways to pay for their child’s college education. Financial aid charts for undergraduates, graduate/professional students, and for continuing education students are just some of the free charts being made available to visitors to the SayStudent.Com website.

"Over the next several weeks families will be receiving financial award letters from their child’s school. Each letter will stipulate exactly the amount of aid awarded with a line item listing the amount of money that families will have to come up with," stated Krayton M Davis, Executive Principal of nBuy Associates the business behind the SayStudent.Com web site. "If a family has no other means for paying for their child’s education, then they’ll have to consider other financial aid methods to ensure that their student can begin school as planned. Our financial aid charts are available for free and can help guide families in making the right college funding decisions," added Davis.

SayStudent.Com has made available through their web site five charts related to financial aid planning including ones for undergraduates, for parents, for graduate/professional students, for continuing education students, and a chart weighing the pros and cons of student loans. Each one can be printed out or viewed online.

Another tool available in conjunction with the charts is a financial aid tracking worksheet, which can be accessed with either Microsoft Excel or Google’s free spreadsheet program. This spreadsheet allows parents and students to keep tabs on financial aid options, which is important since students must re-apply each academic year for financial aid. Having a record of past financial aid awards on hand helps families in successive years and is a handy tool to assist students in consolidating their debt upon graduation.

Additional smart guides, planning tips, and tools are available for families through the SayStudent.Com website.
