Thank you so much! I think your software is amazing and worth every penny! I am sure I would have had a TON of user errors had I not used FAFSAssist. Watching your program populate each page at a lightning pace is so exciting! The time and anxiety this saves is priceless!

I am not only continuing the use of FAFSAssist for my daughter Olivia, but I have also purchased an account for my second daughter, Amelia. So I have two children now going through college and plan to use this software until both graduate. Thank you for this excellent program – I truly appreciate its value.

I am thrilled to let you know Springfield awarded Steven an additional $5,000. I’m shocked and thrilled. Thank you for your amazing negotiation tools

Hi Stuart,

Varsha has committed to the University of Rochester. We used your technique and she received an additional scholarship of $4,000 per year and a research grant for $3,500! That’s $7,500 x 4 years for a total of $30,000 in more free money aid we would never have got. I had no idea that we could appeal. Our $149.00 subscription to FAFSAssist.com was definitely worth it. Thank you for all the help and support we received from FAFSAssist.

In the Fall of 2021, I completed the FAFSA for my son and was shocked to see that our expected family contribution was over $322,000. I found FAFSAssist through the National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS), and Stuart worked with us to correct the information, which brought our EFC down to $600! At some schools, my son received federal and school need-based grants for more than $10,000, saving our family at least $40,000 over four years. Our FAFSAssist membership quickly paid for itself, and my son can graduate debt-free now. Thank you, FAFSAssist!

James is planning on using the FAFSAssist again this year for next year. We love the product!!

I learned about your product after getting an email from the National Society of High School Scholars regarding a webinar you held. I already felt “late” in completing the financial aid forms and FAFSAssist seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. So far it’s been amazing. It releases a lot of anxiety I felt about the process.

Everything about FAFSAssist is proving to be a lifesaver.

Stuart, Once again, you and have gone above and beyond. I truly wish you to continue with the great success of FAFSAssist.

Thank you so much!

We are glad we didn’t take on this process alone. The webinars, videos and texts, and emails kept us on track. We were nervous about asking for more money but it turned out our fears were unfounded and it all worked out great. FAFSAssist is a valuable service. Thank you.

I successfully filed the FAFSA and the IRS DRT using your software. It worked nicely. And it was great you responded to my questions so quickly. You really are the FAFSA Guru!! Thank You!

Alexa has decided to attend Champlain this fall. She gave very thoughtful consideration to Eastern since the cost of attending there would have been so low. But Champlain was really where her heart was, and with the additional scholarship money she’ll receive, we are going to make it work.

As always, thank you so much for all your help and guidance through this process. I so appreciate working with you and your team.

I was very impressed with the ease of using your software. Thanks for your help!

Your customer service is a solid 10! The FAFSAsssist team is always very responsive and extremely helpful.

I’ve never had an issue with the software that has gone unresolved or wasn’t addressed very quickly.

I am watching the video tutorial and I have the software figured out now. I truly cannot thank you enough and will absolutely give you as many referrals as I can!

I’m a professional college funding advisor fairly new to using your software for my clients.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate you an 11! You guys are great!

Thank you for everything! I love FAFSAssist and telling all my friends!

I just want to say FAFSAssist paid for itself many times over. Best self-service tool I’ve used.

The Merit Max report we used to find colleges was very useful and many of them met my son’s interests and our ability to pay for them was very effective. This is a very unique piece of software and nothing I’ve seen compares to it. Thank you for making this much easier than I’ve heard it was.

I was very nervous when my husband subscribed to the service. But our accountant didn’t seem to be very interested in helping us with the financial aid forms. It was really very easy to use and the best part is that I didn’t have to file any forms. FAFSAssist did it for us!

FAFSAssist helped us with my son Adam. I was very nervous trying it at first but it was a lot like Turbotax. We have other children we will use FAFSAssist for.

FAFSAssist did practically everything for us. It was really like having a guru right beside me showing me the way.

One thing that I found very helpful was the tutorials and webinars. They made the complicated a lot easier to understand. The forms filing software was great. I could have used this for my first child’s college aid forms.

The FAFSAssist software was easy to use and very helpful. The negotiation tool worked better than we could have ever dreamed. I will recommend it to anybody with a student going to college.

FAFSAssist should be in every high school! We know the tools saved us thousands of dollars per year because we qualified for a grant after we used the negotiation process. Thank you.

The system really took care of everything for me. The text alerts kept me on track and the financial aid forms took just a couple of minutes.

This was very helpful. FAFSAssist was the best thing. Walked me through it step by step. Thank you very much.

Before I found your program I really was afraid of making mistakes that would make college too expensive. FAFSAssist answered all my questions and filed all my forms. It’s a very valuable service and I appreciate it. Thank you.

Everything was organized and easy to use. The videos gave us the information we needed to enter a few preferences and find colleges that would reward our daughter for her hard work. Everything was filed with the click of a button. the follow-ups were much appreciated. The aid award evaluator was great. We knew which colleges would give us more money. Best money I ever spent!

This was like I had a guardian angel watching me making sure I made no mistakes. Thank you for following up with emails and texts reminding me to take the next steps. I will recommend it to everyone I speak to.

Loved working with you Stuart and I’ve recommended you several times.

Hello Stuart, I genuinely thank you for the information and advice that you provided us during the last academic year when our first child applied to college and for financial aid.  While we didn’t expect to receive financial aid in terms of loans, we did apply for it, and your tutorials helped us a lot to do so.  Also, you personally got on the phone to speak with me, more than once if I recall, and I really appreciated your attention!  And finally, thanks to your advice on how to negotiate for more money, she received an additional $8.000 per year from Chapman.  A nice bump! We’ll be back when our second daughter applies to college.

Hello Stuart. We have been stressed about college-related finances for YEARS. That is until we found you! My daughter is going into her sophomore year at UC Davis and absolutely loves every minute of it. As someone who gets stuck in analysis paralysis, we love the fact that we have you to guide us through this scary, overwhelming, and very confusing financial aid process. There are a lot of things that keep me up at night but thanks to you her financial aid situation isn’t one of them. Thank you, FAFSAssist and Stuart Siegel for always answering my MANY questions and providing me with a sense of ‘everything is going to be okay’.” True story! I don’t have a lot of financial confidence but at least with this program, I do actually feel like everything is going to be okay. And guess what! Thanks to you, it actually IS!!

All the best to you and yours!

We totaled up the amount of scholarship awards that Catherine received and it exceeded $500,000.

And, she received an additional $40,000 in scholarship awards using the leveraging tactic. I am sure we could have gotten more but only used it at two schools.
