Dear parents, students, guardians, and guidance counselors:
The cost of a college education is one of the largest expenditures you’ll ever make and/or guide. And yet, some of you think - or have been told by “experts” - that to pay the price of college, parents have no choice but to:
- Borrow against retirement funds
- Take the equity out of homes
- Deplete savings
- Incur additional debt
While it’s true parents have to invest something for a college degree, what most people don’t realize is that:
- The faster you act in your financial aid process, the more aid money you’re likely to receive
- You don’t have to accept the first financial aid award offer made by a school
- Just like with your taxes, there are perfectly legal ways to lower your Expected Family Contribution (EFC)
- Some financial options out there actually work in your favor at tax time
