About

Financial Aid shouldn't be about trying to decipher hard to understand information that you're not sure that you're doing it the right way. I want to use my 12 years' experience as a Financial Aid Advisor to simply the process and actually make it easy, while helping each and every student to receive the most in grants, aid, and scholarships available.

NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Mike Copelin

I’ve been a Financial Aid Advisor for 12 years at 3 different schools (physical campus and 2 online institutions). I’ve helped thousands of students complete the Financial Aid process, but more than that I know what factors determine the amount of Grants and Aid available to students. I’m really good at taking this hard-to-understand information and making it easy. I’ve helped so many students that didn’t qualify for Pell Grant for one reason, or another make the necessary adjustments, to become eligible. I started this in an effort to help those out there that want to get their education but are searching for ways to pay for their education without accumulating a lot of student loan debt.

My Story

I have a lot of empathy for my students and my ultimate goal is to try to help students be able to pay for their education without accumulating a lot of student loan debt. That is a tall order, and it can’t be guaranteed, but what I can guarantee is that I will do everything within my power to help students receive the most available to them in grants, aid, and scholarships. I've seen so many students that have run out of Financial Aid and just given up. I want to change that by offering ideas, tips, and strategies to do this the smart way and make it easy.
