The month of May brings the celebration of graduation for seniors and often times the worry for their parents. What’s next? How am I going to pay for college? My solution for the parents of high school seniors is do not give up on finding help. Although you may have missed the deadlines for the first year, it’s not too late to get assistance down the road. My recommendation for juniors is to start now! Do you know what the costliest mistake parents make in the College Planning process is? It’s assuming they won’t get aid therefore, they take no action… and get nothing!
Tens of thousands of dollars may be available and I know how to find it. Aid is awarded on a first-come basis so if you are not in line, well… you know what happens. If your income is under $250,000 per year, you must look into getting aid now. It could be available to those who apply. I meet with families for free over the phone to discuss college planning offering a limited number of consultations for parents of juniors and seniors but you need to contact my office, get on my calendar, and get informed.
Learn how to lower your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and overall costs along with key strategies to implement and increase your child’s chances of acceptance, grants and available aid. We look at your current situation related to college and estimate how to improve it, find free money for college and secure a solid grasp on your financial future. I’m here to help, answer questions, and offer clarity and peace of mind to discover a direction to take with one of the biggest decisions ever. By the way, there is absolutely no obligation to buy or do anything more during this free consultation other than learning how your family can reduce the cost of college.
