Little-Known Secrets of Paying for College
On March 28th @ 6 PM, the College Funding Coach® will present their Little-Known Secrets of Paying for College workshop via Zoom webinar for the families of Katy Independent School District.
"On average, tuition tends to increase about 8% per year. An 8% college inflation rate means that the cost of college doubles about every nine years. https://finaid.org/savings/tuition-inflation/ . Planning for these expenses has become essential. Some families have children attending college next year, and others have years to plan, but the fears of tackling these monumental and rising costs are the same.
The College Funding Coach® is here to help families figure out HOW to pay for it and still retire one day. You'll discover strategies that may enable you to qualify for financial aid, sources for scholarships, and strategies for maximizing your wealth and minimizing your tax exposure, giving you greater cash flow for funding a college education.
You can expect to learn the following:
-
The 13 most popular college funding financial vehicles explained and debunked
-
College funding strategies for parents with students who DO and DO NOT qualify for financial aid
-
Strategies for parents who are looking to fund their student’s college education without destroying their plans and dreams for retirement
-

-
How to implement strategies that may allow students to attend out-of-state or private colleges for a lower cost than attending an in-state public
