College Financial Prep Helps Families Save Money!

As you're planning for college expenses, let's keep your piggy bank smiling!

​During these trying times, and as always, College Financial Prep works with families of all shapes and sizes to help them save money on the cost of their children's college education.  Since we all want the best college education for our children, we need to be mindful that the "best" isn't always necessarily the most expensive.

For everyone who has been impacted during this Coronavirus pandemic, whether it be due to job loss or business loss, separation or  divorce, or large medical expenditures, College Financial Prep is here to assist you with reducing college costs!

For those with High School Juniors, this time at home provides you and your child with the opportunity to research various colleges and universities via the schools' websites, YouTube videos (both official and unofficial) and social media pages.  College Financial Prep works with High School Juniors to:

• Provide you with a data driven, strategic list of colleges for your family's consideration.  This list is derived based on the input of several key factors from you and your child.
• Find colleges that are more likely to offer your child merit aid.  Based on the list of colleges that we suggest for your consideration, we will also inform you of those schools that will have a  higher propensity for offering your child merit aid/scholarships.
• Estimate net college costs for various colleges and universities based on your financial information and the student's academic information.
