AidPrep is for students heading to college and the families who want to make sure they get the most financial aid possible. Whether you’re filling out the FAFSA for the first time or just want to better understand your options, this course will guide you step-by-step.

You’ll get a clear breakdown of how financial aid works, starting with the basics and key terms you need to know. You’ll learn how to fill out the FAFSA correctly, read your FAFSA Submission Summary, and see how it affects your aid. You’ll also find out how to compare school offers, keep your aid each year, and make smart choices for your college and your wallet. 

Financial aid runs on deadlines, and money is first come, first served. The sooner you understand the process, the more likely you are to get the best possible offer and avoid last-minute stress.

AidPrep is self-paced and easy to fit into your schedule. You can finish it in just a few hours, or spread it out and go at your own speed. You can also re-watch any part whenever you need a refresher.

Unlike generic online tips or scattered advice, AidPrep walks you through the entire financial aid process—from start to finish—with clear explanations, real-life examples, and expert guidance from Dr. Rick Moreno, a financial aid professional with decades of experience. You’ll walk away confident, informed, and ready to make the best decisions for your future.
