Knowledge empowers.

Welcome to Sagely’s Financial Aid Hub! On this site, you’ll find many resources designed to help you understand and navigate financial aid. 

We recommend starting with our Financial Aid Introduction to learn the basics about the language used in financial aid, types of aid, and eligibility.

You’ll also find information on Scholarships, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the College Scholarship Service (CSS Profile), making sense of college costs — and lots of tools to help you plan.

Use the links below to navigate the site. Have questions? Reach out to us at info@sagelyadvising.org.
