Student Financial Aid Services, Inc.
Your Trusted Advisor
Student Financial Aid Services, Inc. is a fee-based preparation and advisory
company dedicated to helping America's families access the most financial aid
possible to pursue their college dreams.
We offer personal advice, expertise, and easy-to-use Internet utilities to make
filing the college financial aid application, known as the FAFSA, quick and accurate.
While filing a federal student aid form is free on the U.S. Department of Education
website, the process isn’t easy. The government has stated that the 137 tax, dependency,
and other financial questions can be more complicated than filing federal income tax forms.
To avoid errors that could deprive a student of aid, many families turn to our trained
Student Aid Advisors for assistance. We help families prepare their FAFSA correctly so
they have the best opportunity for aid. For this service, we charge a modest fee.
Chief Executive Officer Craig V. Carroll leads SFAS’s experienced management team.
The company was established 15 years ago by a former financial aid administrator and
is privately held with it's headquarters in Sacramento, CA.
We are not affiliated with the U.S. Department of Education, its website
(www.fafsa.ed.gov), or any other state or federal agency.
