College Planning

If you and your high school aged child are just beginning the college search process, don't neglect the importance of finding school(s) that are the right financial fit. It can be easy to assume a school is too expensive after first glance at the sticker price, or that your family makes too much money, or that you're guaranteed to get merit aid from every school, or that every college will give you need-based financial aid. The list goes on . . .

Researching all of these items and more before your student even applies can potentially make a big difference when it comes to out-of-pocket costs and future debt. And we can help!
