College Funding Counselor
free guide for parents of teens
Know what college will cost your family before your kid falls for a school you can’t afford.
A short, no-fluff guide to the three numbers smart families pin down first - so you shop with a budget, not a prayer.
You’d never tour an open house before a lender told you your number. With college, almost everybody does. This guide flips the order.
Pre-qualify, like a house
Why knowing your budget before you tour a single campus is the move that saves families thousands — and a brutal dinner-table conversation.
The three numbers
What they are, what each one reveals, and which two you can pin down about your own family this week.
The costly assumption
Why “we make too much for aid” is the single most expensive thing parents tell themselves — and why it’s usually wrong.
Who this is for: parents of 9th–12th graders who want a great-fit college without raiding retirement or co-signing decades of debt.
