We provide the answers… |

A college education today is a necessity for any young adult. In fact, a college graduate will earn over twice as much, throughout their lifetime, as compared to someone with only a high school diploma.
Although a college education is a necessity, the cost to obtain your degree can be overwhelming. A four year college education can typically range between $50,000 and $200,000. Paying for college is only part of the puzzle. Deciding on a career, matching that choice with the most suitable college or university and navigating all the other details along the way can be a very confusing and time consuming process. |

Understanding Financial Assistance |
|
If you are the parent of a college bound high school student or you have a student in college today, you may be missing out on substantial financial assistance and not even know it.
Not understanding the financial assistance offered today could be costing you thousands of dollars, even a better education for your child. You may think that your family makes too much money or has too many assets to qualify for any financial assistance. This is usually not the case. Your family’s income may exceed $150,000 (even higher if you have more than one student in college) and your family may still qualify for some financial assistance. There are also a large number of grants and awards that are based solely on merit not on need regardless of income and assets. |

“A financial aid consultant works for you. He or she has no vested interest in any particular school, governmental agency or lending institution. The consultant is employed by the family to receive the best financial aid legally possible and has only one vested interest - the client. The end result can be hundreds to thousands of dollars in increased eligibility. This is accomplished by having a thorough understanding of financial aid planning principles. This is analogous to tax accountants suggesting tax reduction strategies to their clients. They are neither unethical nor immoral, they are informed. Knowledge is power. With the college costs families are faced with today, you need all the help you can get.”
