How We Help
Planning for college has become a complex puzzle - and as the statistics show, many families are failing to solve it. At GetCollegeFunding we help bring all the pieces together in an efficient and effective manner.
An inordinate number of students are not graduating after spending 4 years in college, many are transferring to multiple colleges, and too many are dropping out completely. Research shows the two primary factors to be:
- Financial Hardship
Running out of money due to lack of proper planning
Taking well beyond 4 years to graduate: college transfers, changing major(s), getting classes - Poor Student/College Fit
Academic or learning style mismatch
Social or political mismatch
College Selection often based on "name" only (Brand Name Paralysis)
Help Prevent Your Student From Becoming a Statistic
You don't want your student to become another "statistic", nor do we! So we've addressed the issues head-on and developed our Comprehensive College Planning Program. We have the expertise and the resources to help families find excellent-fit colleges for their students while maintaining the underlying foundation of affordability.
As a 501(c)(3) education organization, we're here first and foremost to educate families on today’s College Admissions and Financial Aid systems. These systems are far more complex than a generation ago when mom and dad attended college.
One of our most popular "starting points" for families with college-bound students is our 1-on-1 College Readiness Review in our Dana Point office or via SKYPE video-conferencing for those families outside the area. We also conduct a wide variety of live seminars on College Planning topics throughout southern California and Live WebCasts at the national level.
