WE ARE NOT FINANCIAL ADVISORS, Certified Financial Planners (CFPs), accountants, or legal professionals.

You do not need to pay any third-party company, service, or individual to complete, submit, or process your FAFSA. While our educational guides provide informational strategy frameworks to help you understand the landscape and prepare your data, we do not file forms on your behalf, nor do we ever recommend or require paying a service fee to submit the FAFSA.

We make no guarantees, warranties, or representations regarding the absolute accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the information provided.

Using our checklists, guides, or workbooks does not guarantee eligibility for federal, state, or institutional aid, nor does it guarantee specific award amounts. We are not liable for any missed deadlines, financial loss, or rejected aid packages resulting from the use of our digital materials.

5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND DIGITAL USE
