Paying for college is about far more than opening a 529 plan. In this webinar, we’ll discuss how families can create a flexible college funding strategy without jeopardizing retirement or taking on unnecessary debt.
We’ll cover the pros and cons of various savings options, while explaining why saving 100% of college costs may not always be the best strategy. We’ll also explore scholarships, FAFSA, the CSS Profile, Student Aid Index (SAI), Dual Credit, Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), student employment, financial aid appeals, and borrowing options, including federal student loans, PLUS loans, and home equity financing.
Whether your child is in elementary school, high school, or preparing to apply for college, understanding how these pieces work together can help reduce costs, increase flexibility, and avoid costly financial mistakes.
Join us as we discuss practical college planning strategies that can help families maximize opportunities while protecting their long-term financial future.
