PAYING FOR COLLEGE TIMELINE
Know what to do every month of senior year.
Win scholarships for college -- and avoid decades of student loan debt.
The Paying for College Timeline is a one-page, month-by-month plan you can print and hang on the fridge. August through July, it tells you and your student exactly what to work on and flags the two deadline months most families miss.
WHAT'S INSIDE
One page. Twelve months. No guessing.
A task for every month
From the August counselor meeting to July's last applications — one clear action per month, in order.
The two deadline months, flagged
October (FAFSA & CSS Profile open) and March (the biggest scholarship deadline month) are marked so they don't slip past.
Built to print
Single letter-size page, designed for the fridge so your student sees what's next without being asked.
