How this content is made
Financial-aid rules change by aid year and carry real money consequences, so accuracy is the priority over volume.
Our process
- Primary sources first. Guidance is grounded in studentaid.gov and the Federal Student Aid Handbook, linked inline.
- Human review before publish. Every page is reviewed for accuracy against current federal guidance before it goes live.
- Dated and maintained. Pages show a "last updated" date and are reviewed each aid year, since thresholds and forms change.
- No false authority. We don't claim credentials we don't have or outcomes we can't promise. This is information and templates, not legal or financial advice.
- Corrections welcome. If something is wrong or outdated, email us and we'll correct it.
