Knowing how to pay for college is important; but knowing how to not pay too much is even more important!

Better test scores often lead to a little better school, a little better education, and even a little less out-of-pocket college costs.

Also included are guidelines of what to include and what to avoid on your admission apps, including the 3 most overlooked and important parts of your application packet.
Personalized college planning reports round out the ACF FastTrack platform. Each report is custom-tailored to your family and provides real-time information to help ease the stress of application deadlines as well as the FAFSA & CSS/Profile requirements. Also included are in-depth college cost breakdowns to help ensure your family doesn't pay too much.
ACF FastTrack Resource Suites are awarded based on the student’s personal statement and their ability to articulate the importance of a college education to them. Current GPA and test scores (if applicable) may also be considered.
All high school grade levels are eligible to apply and the student’s current grade level has no bearing on being selected. There is also no need to demonstrate financial need to qualify. Families of all income ranges are eligible to apply.
Winners have full and unlimited access to all features and benefits contained within the ACF FastTrack Resource Suite.
Up to 100 ACF FastTrack Resource Suites are awarded with each quarterly deadline. Non-winners may re-apply.
The application process and the entire suite of FastTrack resources are free. To protect privacy of all applicants, dates of birth and social security numbers are not required to apply. Personalized college planning reports, FAFSA and CSS/Profile answer keys, and college cost summary reports are all generated from information gathered from the family. Financial data is gathered in bands (e.g., $1,000 – $4,999; $5,000 – $24,999) to further protect the privacy of the student and family.
The ACF will determine, and has final say, on all award recipients. Selected recipients agree that their application and award information including personal statement, picture, name, state, and high school grade level may be acknowledged on the American College Foundation website and associated materials. All submitted application packets become the exclusive property of the American College Foundation. No correspondence regarding the receipt, screening, verification, or judging status of a submitted application packet will be accepted. A submitted application packet may NOT be amended.
Some resources may be provided through a special grant from our affiliate partner College Funding Solutions, Inc.
