Will you be able to retire after sending your kids to college?

Maximize college aid and minimize stress so your kids go to college and you still retire comfortably.

Parents are finding the financial aid process overwhelming and paying for college a daunting and stressful nightmare. Are you asking: Where did the time go and where will the money come from?

Are you wrestling with these issues?

• Struggling to find enough time to focus on important issues?
• Overwhelmed by the volume of information out there?
•  Financial Aid Forms, and Loans, and Deadlines, Oh My!
•  I won’t qualify for aid, so what can I do?

College Funding Associates is here to help families minimize the time, energy, and stress associated with the financial aid process, which is time-consuming, overwhelming, and full of potential for mistakes which can cost thousands in lost aid. With so much information available these days, people need a one-stop resource to boil it down and get through the process quickly and comfortably. By integrating sound financial planning strategies with the rules and regulations of financial aid, you'll be able to comfortably send your children to college, have time to enjoy their high school and college years, and stay on track to retire.

Our experience working with families tells us that most of the money saved is tied up in retirement plans and in the home. Busy family life leaves little time or money to do proper planning early, which puts most families in a bind later. Here are the key steps to being successful in your college planning:

1. Make the time to become educated and to complete the process, or to work with a professional. Sadly, many people spend more time researching and buying a car than they do when planning for college. Your child will not be scarred for life if you miss one of their games to plan their future.

2.  You must understand how to determine your EFC and why this number is so crucial to your success.

3.  You also need to understand the importance of, and how to properly position your student to maximize aid.

4.  Be sure to understand how to prevent your college savings from costing you financial aid in the end, and also learn how you can pay for college on a tax favored basis.

5.  Lastly, you must understand when and how to appeal a financial aid award from schools.
