About the Event

This program helps parents of sophomores, juniors and seniors determine where a child may Get Into College and Get Aid, and what their best strategy is to pay for college.

College is a big investment, but fortu­nately there are strategies to reduce the cost of college and make it more affordable. How­ever, understanding all of the strategies and determining which ones apply to your fam­ily’s situation can be quite confusing.

College funding involves multiple areas of personal finance such as: taxes, investing, borrowing, cash flow and financial aid. Consequently, college funding requires knowledge of all of these areas and, more importantly, how they affect one another for education funding purposes.  Col­lege funding isn’t merely about financial aid; it’s about your financial life.

Topics to be covered:

• If your children are likely to get admitted to their chosen colleges   
• How to pay for college without relying on financial aid
• If your children will qualify for need-based financial aid
• Ways to reduce the overall cost of college
• If you will be eligible to claim one of the education tax benefits
• If you have the ability to implement tax-saving tactics
• How to use your family’s resources to pay for college with the best possible strategy
