Many colleges and universities with a high sticker price have raised
significant amounts of money specifically for scholarships. They have
money to award students attending their college or university to reduce
the sticker price. This is why it is imperative to promote and market
the student to the specific FAO (Financial Aid Officer) of the colleges
and universities the student is matched to. CPI will do this for the
CPI college bound student through the CPI Student Profile. (CPI's Step 1)
- Yes.
The job of the FAO is to make it possible for the student to get
accepted. The more the FAO knows about the student, the more they want
the student, the harder the FAOs will work to put together a good
financial package. This proves the importance of the CPI Student
Profile and how CPI Step 1 assists the CPI College Bound Student compete with all the other applicants.
