Effective and comprehensive college planning generally includes career counseling - to avoid transfers, choice of major changes and dropouts - college search/selection, student academic resume enhancement (tutoring and test prep) and financial aid eligibility enhancement. Your college planner probably offers all of these components and we suggest you make use of them as they all ultimately affect your family's cost of college..
College financial planning, as relates to the edCelerator™ System, identifies the optimal borrowing methodology for the client family, once the net cost of college determined. For instance, one of our client family's Students started at $55,000 Georgetown this Fall. After employing some of our financial aid maximization strategies, the student received an aid award package just under $30,000. Our client family still needed therefore, to finance $25,000. Please see the overview of how we were able to discount the cost of college here and obtain detailed information here.
Your local edCelerator™-Certified College Planner will illustrate for you ALL of your financing options, like paying Cash, Ten-Paying, Stafford loans, PLUS loans, private student loans, state loans and the borrowing System we use with the edCelerator™.
edCelerator.com is not a college loan company or a mortgage broker.
