Helping Families Do Everything Necessary to Lower College Costs
Event Description:
Please join us for a FREE Educational College Funding and Planning workshop that will focus on high school freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. We’ll discuss the FAFSA form and all the other information you need to understand in order to maximize the amount of financial aid you are eligible to receive! Even if your family is not eligible for need-based aid, we will cover the best strategies on how to pay for college in the most cost efficient basis—without it putting a strain on the rest of your finances. In this workshop, you will learn:
How to increase your college-related tax deductions and tax credits
How to pick colleges that will give you the best financial aid packages
How to send your child to an expensive private university for less than a state school
Which assets are taken into consideration when the U.S. Department of Education calculates your Expected Family Contribution (EFC)
How to pay for college in an up or down economy without relying on 529 plans, expensive private student loans or raiding your retirement accounts
How to get ahead by developing a customized plan to meet all the college costs you will incur as a family
How to lower your “out-of-pocket” costs and get the maximum amount of money from each school
