Welcome
How to pay for college MY way and maximize your financial aid
Since 2006
What We Do
Each year, millions of families struggle with this puzzle:
"How to pay for the increasing costs of college for all their children, and still achieve a comfortable debt-free retirement, without taking unnecessary risk."
We solve that puzzle.
Our mission is to advise parents of college-bound high school students on all phases of college financial planning. We offer a unique and invaluable service where we show parents how to make college more affordable by managing the college admissions & financial aid process on their behalf, working closely with them to identify all of the grants, loans, & scholarships available, and submitting the myriad of forms and paperwork that are associated with this process.
Basically, we deliver PEACE OF MIND in knowing that everything will be done 100% accurately and on time, and that you will learn every strategy available to lower your family's out-of-pocket college costs as much as legally possible. By working with us, you will ALWAYS have pro-active coaches on every aspect of the college process to smoothly guide you through the process.
In addition, about 90% of those who qualify for need-based aid still have a significant "Family Contribution" that must come out of their pocket, plus there are those who do not qualify for aid and must totally pay for college themselves. We teach these parents how to pay for college on a tax favored basis, showing them the best sources for money, how to choose a college to get the best chance of funding with the least amount of loans, how to negotiate with a college to get the best financial aid package, how to make college affordable in any type economy without relying on Wall Street or expensive private student loans, and how to set up their personal finances to be eligible for significantly more aid than they ever thought possible along with much, much, more.
Throughout the year, we host numerous COMPLIMENTARY Workshops in local high schools & community centers for parents of college-bound high school students and follow these up by offering a COMPLIMENTARY personal evaluation to review the family's individual college financial situation. You can NOT afford to miss one of these workshops.
