What is the reality of college pricing and how can you save on the costs?
High schools focus on how to navigate the admissions process and meet the deadlines…. But getting answers to key financial questions can be difficult.
- What is the EFC and how to estimate yours?
- Which scholarships to target?
- How to research schools to find the true cost of attendance?
- Which types of aid should your family target and why?
- How to create your four-year payment strategy?
Our goal is to end the student loan crisis one family at a time!
