Does your family fall into Category 3 – families who “make too much” money to qualify for need-based aid? Think again! 📌 Here’s why you should still fill out the FAFSA and go through the process: 1️⃣ Schools want to see what you qualify for before offering their funds. 2️⃣ You might be eligible for federal or state money that helps schools allocate their endowment funds. 3️⃣ Not submitting the FAFSA could mean missing out on unexpected opportunities! 💡 Pro tip: Filling out the FAFSA opens doors you might not realize are there. 🎥 Watch the full breakdown on our YouTube channel @mystrivepath for expert insights on maximizing your college funding options! #fafsa #financialaid #collegeplanning #highereducation #payingforcollege #parenttips #strivepath #collegebound
