Frequently Asked Questions for Families
What Our Hosts Are Saying!
"While we do a great job of getting out scholarship information, this fills in the missing link that scholars and parents often ask about....How do I pay for college?" - Bob B., College Relations Manager • Heritage Academy
"We appreciated the communication, knowledge, and level of care that was shown in helping us plan and advertise the event." -
Kate D., Direct of School Counseling • Advanced Math and Science Academy Charter School
"Thank you! The amount of info you share with families is relevant and incerdibly in-depth condsidering the hour and a half time frame. Jimmy and Stacy's knowledge and tips are invaluable to any family with a child.. The fact that you offer these webinars for free is amazing!!" - Erin O., Director of School Counseling • Bishop Ireton
"This workshop dives head first into the nitty gritty of paying for college and offers a perspective and expertise that the counselors on my team and I simply don't have. I was taking notes for my own family's purposes and learned so many valuable things." - Kayla M., Counselor • Atlanta Classical Academy
"The workshop offers valuable information to parents/students and helps our families and empowers participants to take actionable steps to make college more affordable." - Kelley G., Principal • Franklin High School
"I would highly recommend any school to invite the College Funding Coach to speak. They are wonderful to work with and are advocates for anyone trying to afford college." - Charlotte G., College Advisor • Seton School
"I sincerely believe that the CFC team's knowledge of a narrow but increasingly important aspect of preparing for college allows qualified families to make evidence-based decisions that positively impact the outcome in an outcome-driven process: attending college/pursuing a college degree. If college is designed to better prepare a student for life beyond college, then students/families would be remiss to not do all they can to do so from a financial perspective as well." - Chris O., Director of School Counseling
