How Are You Going to Pay For it All?

That is the ultimate question.

College is expensive. The average cost of attendance is over $27,000 per year. When you consider that the average family income in America is barely $50,000, affording a four-year education is a major challenge.

Give the gift of a college education without destroying your own retirement or burying your family in debt.

I found the information provided to be most useful. Unfortunately, it would have been much more useful learn earlier. If I had learned how the college funding game works when my daughter was a freshman, or when she was in 6th grade, I would have had her grand parents been the trustee for her college funds rather than her mother and I. Several ways in which I thought I was helping the situation I found were making it more difficult.

John presented are workable and usable model for approaching issues with college funding and understanding financial aid. Attending early in the college cycle is helping us better plan and prepare for our daughter's education.John presented a good overview of the aid process,myths, and potential pitfalls. He answered questions honestly and directly-I'd recommend his workshop to all parents dealing with funding and aid issues

Although I'm one of those people who thoroughly researches every topic, the complexity of college planning and funding is overwhelming. John's expertise in every aspect of college planning, from applications to financing, is invaluable. I feel that with John's guidance our family may actually be able to conquer the maze of obstacles involved in this process and succeed in both funding our son's college education and our retirement.
