The Los Alamitos Education Foundation (LAEF) is proud to donate $4200 to Los Alamitos High School to purchase College Aid Pro software. This comprehensive financial aid assistance platform will better support students through the postsecondary planning process, providing invaluable resources and guidance.
College Aid Pro is designed to assist students and families in understanding the complexities of the financial aid application process. One of the key features of College Aid Pro is its ability to walk students through the FAFSA application, a crucial step in accessing financial aid for college. The program also provides ongoing support as students compare financial aid offers in the spring of their senior year.
In addition to assisting with the FAFSA application, the software provides support in choosing schools based on financial fit and affordability, completing a CSS Profile for private schools, understanding and comparing financial aid award letters, and navigating financial aid award appeals. College Aid Pro also empowers families by allowing them to create a list of schools that will be affordable based on grades and family finances. The software’s CAP net price calculator offers more accurate estimates than those provided by colleges and universities, which may not always have the most updated information on their websites. Furthermore, College Aid Pro provides customized scholarship match information to students, further enhancing their ability to secure financial aid for higher education.
“We are thrilled to support Los Alamitos High School in implementing College Aid Pro,” said LAEF Executive Director, Carrie Logue. “We are happy to support the LAHS counseling team in providing students with the tools and resources they need to navigate the financial aid process to help them achieve their higher education goals.”
The adoption of College Aid Pro demonstrates Los Alamitos High School’s commitment to advancing college access and affordability for its students. LAEF’s donation is a testament to the foundation’s dedication to supporting funding in critical areas impacting all students in the Los Alamitos community.
