    OppenheimerFunds

    Financial Aid EvaluatorWill my amily qualiy or fnancial aid?

    When designing a college savings plan, you and your nancial

    advisor will want to know whether nancial aid should be con-

    sidered as a component o your plan. The OppenheimerFunds

    Financial Aid Evaluatorcan serve as an estimate based on current

    nancial aid rules. Because nancial aid eligibility requirements

    and amily circumstances can change, the results o this testwhich should be conducted on an annual basisare not a

    guarantee o uture nancial aid eligibility and should be used or

    planning purposes only.

    In order to complete the Financial Aid Evaluatoryou will needthe ollowing inormation:

    Total amily incomerom all sources, both taxable and nontaxable. W-2income should include pretax contributions to retirement savings plansand caeteria plans, as the nancial aid system adds these back to income

    Parent asset balancescash, checking, savings, stocks, bonds, mutual unds,home value minus mortgage balance, other real estate values minus mortgagebalances, business assets minus business liabilities, qualied tuition savingsplans, etc.

    Parent retirement account valuesplus lie insurance cash values andannuity values. Although these assets are not usually included in nancialaid calculations, providing these gures separately will enable your nancialadvisor to ensure that they are not inadvertently included in the nonqualiedasset balances

    Student asset balancescash, checking, savings, stocks, bonds, mutual unds.Also include any qualied tuition savings plans

    Important

    This test estimates a amilys

    ability to qualiy or need-based

    nancial aid at some point in

    the uture. It is not a guarantee

    o nancial aid. The purpose

    o this test is to determine

    whether nancial aid may be

    a consideration. I it is, you

    and your nancial advisor may

    want to consider using savings

    vehicles that will be least detri-

    mental to your ability to qualiy

    or nancial aid. Furthermore, in

    the process o designing a plan

    that is accommodating nancial

    aid, you will want to plan on

    exit strategies in the event that

    nancial aid becomes unlikely

    at some point in the uture.
