Learn how we have been a value add for school districts and how we can be a resource for your school. The College Funding Coach is a national organization created to educate parents on strategies that minimize their out-of-pocket costs for their children’s future college education. Since 2002, our free educational workshop, Little-Known Secrets of Paying for College, has instructed parents on the often-confusing and anxiety-producing path of planning financially for their children’s college educations. After working with 1,311 schools and 232,345 parents over the last 23 years, we’ve found that the three biggest reasons counselors seek our help are:
1) They’re frustrated when families haven’t planned how they’ll afford college, and it’s the students who feel heartbroken. It’s tough being the one to console them and find new options.
2) They feel unappreciated when families hit unexpected financial barriers. Often, you’re left trying to smooth things over while getting unfair blame.
3) They’re overwhelmed by seminars that miss the mark—leaving families confused.
Our workshops are different; we help students and families understand their options and make confident choices, so you look like the hero supporting their dreams. The workshop focuses on the following areas:

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
The 13 most popular college funding financial vehicles explained and debunked
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
Ways to maximize and increase financial aid eligibility
