Help Me Pay For College

Tonight I am writing you from one of our popular college funding workshops at the Howard Miller Community Center in Zeeland, MI.  Our featured speaker is Mr. Robert Barr, and let me tell you this.  If you ever have the opportunity to go to a college funding workshop, he really makes it fun and informational.  The biggest topic he is going to cover tonight is how you need to have a blueprint to pay for college.  There is a balance you have to make between paying for college and retirement.  There is the old saying, "you can borrow for college, but you can't borrow for retirement."  That is absolutely true and you should take it to heart.

A well thought out college blueprint will include financial aid strategies, college admissions strategies, tax strategies, and innovative funding strategies. 

I can't write too much tonight because of where I am, but if you have a college bound high school student, then it is in your best interest to attend one of these workshops.  To find one in your area, just go to www.myacfa.com and find one near you.
