FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions people often ask before exploring 7702

Is 7702 a safer place for people who are scared of the market? ↘

For many people, that is one of the main reasons they look into it. But the important thing is to check whether your actual goals align with this direction.

Does 7702 mean you will never lose money? ↘

Every solution works differently. What matters is understanding the structure before drawing conclusions. Wendy would never recommend anyone make a decision based on one marketing line.

Does 7702 have fees? ↘

Yes. And the costs are typically higher than options like a 401k or IRA. That is something to understand clearly from the beginning.

I just want to put in money for a few years and take it out. Is this a fit? ↘

Not really. This is typically a long-term direction. If your goal is short-term, there is likely a better option for you.

I do not know anything about stocks. Can I still learn about this? ↘

Yes. That is actually one of the main reasons many people start exploring — they want a direction that is easier to understand and does not require them to manage the market themselves.

IMPORTANT DEADLINES

FAFSA Deadlines Every Parent Should Know

Submitting early can help your family meet college, state, and institutional financial aid deadlines.

Annual FAFSA Cycle

FAFSA Opening Date

FAFSA becomes available for the upcoming award year

Federal FAFSA opening dates can change from year to year. Check StudentAid.gov for the official opening date for the award year your student needs.

HIGH PRIORITY

Submit as Early as Possible

State & Institutional Financial Aid

Some state and college-based aid programs may have earlier deadlines or limited funding. Do not wait until the federal deadline if your state or college has an earlier deadline.

CHECK YOUR STATE

State-Specific Deadlines

Every state may have different financial aid deadlines

If you are applying for state-based financial aid, check your state’s official deadline carefully. Some programs may have priority deadlines.

EVERY YEAR

Submit a New FAFSA Each Year

FAFSA is not automatically renewed

Students generally need to complete a new FAFSA for each academic year they want to be considered for federal financial aid.

So which one is best?

Each retirement strategy can be useful — when it is used the right way.

Many financially successful people do not rely on just one strategy. They often combine several approaches to protect assets and create long-term growth.

The goal is not to find the one “best” program. The real goal is to understand which strategy fits your life, your goals, and your current situation.

A plan only becomes truly effective when it is built around you.

“The best investment you can make is an investment in yourself.”

— Warren Buffett

WHERE TO APPLY

Where Can My Child Apply for Scholarships

The right answer is not to search randomly online. The best approach is to look in the right order.

Most important

1. Start With the College Itself

Many parents overlook this, even though it is one of the most important places to start.

The college financial aid office
The school scholarship portal
Merit scholarships from the school
Department scholarships
Scholarships for incoming students
Scholarships for current students

Less competition

2. Look for Local Scholarships

These should be a high priority because they are often less competitive than national scholarships.

High school counselor office
Local community foundations
Churches, temples, and cultural organizations
Vietnamese community associations
Local businesses
Credit unions and local banks
Nonprofit organizations in the area

Expand further

3. Use Trusted Scholarship Websites

After checking the school and local opportunities, families can expand into national scholarship sources.

Fastweb.com
Scholarships.com
Bold.org
College Board Scholarship Search
Cappex.com

The Right Order: School first. Local second. National last. This keeps the process more organized and more effective.
