                                    PHASE 6: The Wrap Up

Quarterly Progress Reviews
We’ll meet with you and your student for a formal Progress Review every 30 days… laying out a plan for you for the next

quarter, as well as reviewing your progress over the last quarter. Nothing will ‘fall in a crack’… and you’ll never

wonder what you should be doing next. It’s imperative for the student to attend these reviews.

Financial Aid Forms Instruction & Review
You’ll receive professional guidance… and strategies… on properly completing all the Financial Aid forms required for

your student. We’ll teach you how to complete the forms… and we’ll check them to make sure they’re done properly.

CSS Profile Form Registration
This form must be submitted to certain but not all colleges for financial aid considerations. You must register to obtain

the form or acquire the opportunity to do it online.

Award Letters Review & Appeal Evaluation
We’ll meet with your family in the March/April time-frame of your student’s senior year and review all of the Financial Aid Awards offered him/her. You’ll understand what your out-of-pocket costs will be for all colleges under consideration… and we’ll help you decide if any appeals are warranted. If this is the case, we’ll coach you through the entire process.

Borrowing Discussion (only if necessary)While our philosophy here at Soar strongly opposes borrowing for college, we certainly respect that different families have different perspectives on how much debt is acceptable for their family. We’ll explain the variety of student (and parent) loans available and help you make the best decisions on which ones to accept.
