Scholarships

Working in the college funding industry, I have had the opportunity to give families some wonderful advice on how to beat the high costs of college. One piece of information I give parents shocks them every time, and that is that scholarships only make up about three percent of the financial aid used to pay for college. To put this in terms a little easier to understand, only about 3 cents on the dollar used to pay for college is from scholarships. Wouldn't you like to find a more efficient way to pay the college bill? Wouldn't it be nice to know some of the loop holes in the financial aid system that could save you thousands of dollars off the college bill? I have to tell you, that I wish I would have known the things I do now when I was getting ready to go to college. Thankfully, there are thousands of parents with children getting ready to go to college that still have time to avoid the mistakes I made. To do this, you must go see a college funding advisor, we are specialists in what we do, and we know how to work the system to your benefit.
