College Costs Are Soaring. What's Your Plan?
How Savvy Families Are Beating the College Affordability Crisis and Avoiding Debt
What's your plan to pay for college?
If you're like most Americans, you don't have enough money saved to cover 4 years of tuition, fees, books, room, board, and other college-related expenses.
FAFSA to the rescue? NOPE!
The new FAFSA rollout last year was a disaster. This year appears similar, as the opening date has already been delayed from October to December.
Plus, middle- and upper-income families get little, often nothing, from FAFSA!
Student loans aren't the answer, either.
Not only do student loans put a financial burden on your student, but they're not guaranteed, either. Here's what one mom posted:
And, even if you qualify for student loans, can you really afford them?
$700/month to pay for just one year of school. Now multiply that times 4 years of college. YIKES!
So, how will you pay for college?
Allow me to introduce you to my good friend, Dave The Scholarship Coach. Several years ago, Dave was just like you. He hadn't saved enough to cover his son’s college expenses. But, Dave’s income meant the family didn't qualify for "need-based" financial aid. Dave knew he didn't want his son to be burdened with student loan debt, so he developed a plan ...
Today, Dave's son is a debt-free college graduate, and they paid only $1,500 for his 4-year degree! That covered tuition, room, board, books, and fees! How did he do it? SCHOLARSHIPS!
Now Dave is sharing the incredibly valuable insights he has gained with the world. His first piece of advice?
Don’t fall for the myth that scholarships are just for top students.
Class of 2024 high school grad, Talon, is "very average" according to his mom. He was an average student, did a few activities in high school, but nothing that made him a "star." However Talon won over $100,000 in scholarships, and started college this fall with the comfort of knowing he won't be burdened with student loans and likely won't have to pay anything for his college degree!
Talon and his mom followed Dave's advice to make this happen.
