Join readers of Mastering College Affordability for tips, strategies, and resources to maximize financial aid and minimize debt, so your children will thrive and you can retire on time.
If you’re a typical parent with college-bound students, you’re likely overwhelmed by the college process, and blown away by the price tag.
College is now the second most expensive purchase most parents will make in their lifetimes after a home. The college process has become more complex and time consuming, and a small mistake can cost thousands of dollars.
Are you asking…
We have two teens – how will we ever pay for college?
Are private schools out of reach?
Will we still be able to retire? When?
Our income is high – we won’t get any financial aid, right?

By the way, ALL of the statements above ☝️ are FALSE!
As college-savvy financial coaches, we come alongside parents to help reduce stress and anxiety, while ensuring your child attends the right college at the right price.
Our college funding experts are available and ready to assist in your college planning journey.
“We appealed the Smith offer, and received an additional $6,323 in grant money. This brings the grant to almost $69,000 and leaves us with a net cost of a little more than $21,000. We are thrilled with this offer! It is very close to our budget without any loans.
Given the disparity of offers we have received, and the feedback I’ve gotten from other families who have been less lucky during this process, it’s clear that parents need as much information as possible to manage this process effectively.
Your assistance, and the other aspects of College Aid Pro, have been a key part of our family attaining the result we were seeking.
Thanks again for all your help.”
