Newark, NJ (1888PressRelease) April 28, 2018 - Steven Sirot, Co-Founder, College Benefits Research Group (CBRG), was recently interviewed by Karin Price Mueller, NJMoneyHelp, where he discussed how financial aid formulas treat student and parent assets differently.

Sirot stated, "Parent-owned assets are generally factored in at 5.6 percent of their value. Student-owned assets are factored in at between 20 to 25 percent, and therefore any savings in the student's name could result in a lower calculated need and financial aid award.”
