As you know, families often feel overwhelmed with the prospect of paying for college. So, many jump at the chance when invited to a “free” college financing seminar, a “limited time only interview” or when services to find financial assistance are offered.
Unfortunately, some of these offers apply high-pressure sales tactics to get families to pay a fee for their “expert” assistance or even ask for bank account information to draft a “one-time fee for grants or scholarships.” We’ve recently learned of an organization in the Triangle requiring students to pay a fee upfront for financial aid advice.
Families don’t need to pay for help with financial aid. College Foundation of North Carolina (CFNC) --the college access site that is a service of the State of North Carolina to help families plan, apply and pay for college – makes financial aid resources available at no charge anytime and none of our State’s grants or scholarships require fees.
