Who GetCollegeFunding Serves

Exactly What Kinds Of Families Work
With GetCollegeFunding?

We work with a wide variety of families that have college-bound students and share the common desire to provide the best possible education for their children without bankrupting Mom and Dad. They realize what a challenge this is with today’s high cost of college. We are able to help many clients optimize their financial aid eligibility by educating them with facts concerning the College Funding process. For others we can counsel them and design a strategic plan to pay for college in the most efficient way.

Our families have financial and academic profiles that vary tremendously. Some families are affluent and are seeking the most cost-efficient way to pay for college, while others are low-to-middle income and can’t begin to imagine how they will come even close to meeting the costs. Some students are stellar in their academic achievement while others are average or below average. There’s a right school for everyone and there’s a right way to pay for that school.

The common denominator is the parent’s genuine desire to provide the best possible college education for their children. Understanding the element of College Funding as we do, one of our primary goals is to help them align the cost of college with the family’s financial profile and ability to pay.

'I Wish We Were Given This Information A Year Ago!
Why Didn't Anyone Tell Us Until NOW?'

- Typical Parent of High School Senior

The best time for families to get started with GetCollegeFunding is NOT when their child is a high school senior - rather a sophomore or 1st-semester junior. That's right! The "Sweet Spot" is actually anytime during the sophomore year! This comes as a big surprise to most parents. They incorrectly assume that there's nothing to be done regarding College Funding or financial aid until the senior year. The truth is that this is often way too late to optimize this critical element of college preparation.

What is widely unknown is that there is often much PLANNING that can and should be underway well before the senior year begins. It's just the financial aid forms that aren't due until the senior year! After attending our College Funding seminar the overwhelming response we hear from parents of seniors is one of concern and frustration in not learning this soon enough.

10 Statements Often Made By High School Parents

Do ANY of These Sound Like You?

“Filling out financial aid forms would be a waste of our time. There’s no way we’ll qualify. We just make too much money.”
“We have so much home equity, there’s no way we’ll receive any financial aid.”
“I’m so confused about all this financial aid stuff. I get different answers everywhere I turn.”
“We’ve got to sacrifice our plans for retirement in order to help get the kids through college.”
“I guess we’ll have to settle for a state school even though our child has great grades. There’s just no way we can afford a private university.”
“We’ve waited way too long to start saving and planning for college. I guess the kids will just have to settle for junior college for a couple of years.”
“I wish we hadn’t invested so heavily in UGMA accounts and 529 Plans. I’m hearing now that we may not qualify for any financial aid.”
“Our child has average grades. We certainly won’t be getting any of that grant money we hear so much about.”
“Being a single parent, I’m barely getting by as is. I don’t know where to turn for help in getting them through college.”
“We can’t file our financial aid forms until we have our income tax return prepared. So how do they expect us to submit them in January? We don’t even have our W-2’s yet!”

What Does Our IDEAL FAMILY Look Like?

You Are Likely To Be Successful Working With Us If . . .

You don't wait until your student's high school senior year to begin. There's so much planning that can begin during the sophomore and junior years. Now if you're like so many parents who are just now reading this for the first time and your student IS a senior, please don't feel defeated! We want to meet with you as soon as possible and help you in every way we can.

You are willing to listen to the facts about College Funding. There are many misconceptions out there about financial aid eligibility. Don’t assume that everything you’ve been told or may be assuming is correct.

You make the time to provide accurate information. College Funding has many deadlines that cannot be missed. When we request clarification or additional information, it’s imperative that you respond in a timely fashion.

You have a genuine desire to optimize the college selection process. There are so many great schools out there. We need your commitment to help us help you find the ones that fulfill your student’s ability academically and meet your family financially.

You are willing to consider new financial strategies. Many families we meet have invested their money in conventional ways that are beneficial from a tax advantage standpoint but are devastating to financial aid eligibility.

This last bullet reveals one of the biggest and most costly mistakes made by parents when it comes to College Funding! For some families it can be the difference between paying for a public school entirely out of pocket versus receiving significant grants (free money) from a private school!

We would love to help you determine if it’s to YOUR family’s best interest to shelter your assets from Taxation or from Financial Aid Assessments. And it all begins with equiping you with the facts you need to know regarding the College Funding process, so that we can tailor the best strategies to your financial profile.
