Join us to learn how college funding really works and how to position for your best price.

Armed with correct information, you can make sure your student gets the best education at a feasible cost.

Let's face it- college is expensive. Let us show you how to make it affordable without going into debt.  This is one class that is based on the facts of how college funding works, combining merit scholarships and need-based aid. We will discuss how to maximize both, understand how different colleges extend aid differently, how to use dual enrollment and AP courses in high school to create options for shortening college by a year or two, and even the options for a more affordable education in Europe.

Why We Offer This Workshop:

• The average price of a private university is now $58K - $92k/yr)
• The average price of a public university is now $24 - 32K per yr
• The average length of time it takes to graduate college now is six years
• Student loan debt is now over $1.76 trillion in the US.
• Cost of college increases have outpaced wage increases 8-fold since 1990



The Good News:

• The most expensive schools (even Ivies) often cost less than state schools
• You can calculate in advance what you'll likely have to pay at most colleges
• Owning your own business can dramatically lower the cost of college.
• State lottery scholarships can be very generous for in-state students.
• There are significant federal programs that offer full rides for specific  STEM majors.
• That you can appeal for a better offer from a college & lower your cost
• Students may get more scholarship money once in college.
• There are highly generous grant programs for "first in family" students
  

This is too big of a commitment to just "wing it"-  Let our trusted team of experienced professionals teach you the little-known facts of how scholarships, grants, and financial aid really work, and how they work dramatically differently at various categories of universities. 

Sooner is better than later! While gaining this knowledge at any stage in high school is helpful, learning it as soon as possible, even as early as the student's 8th or 9th grade year, is ideal.
