College Saving Options
When it comes to paying for a child’s education, saving is certainly cheaper than borrowing. We can help you figure out which method of education saving works best for your situation while also allowing you to continue with your own retirement planning.
Financial Aid
Financial Aid
You don’t have to navigate the deluge of financial aid paperwork and information on your own. We can help with guidance on the timing for financial aid applications and may be able to point you toward resources you might not know are available.
College Costs
The net price of a college’s tuition and fees is different from the published price and is specific to each student. It’s the price for tuition and fees minus grants, scholarships and education tax benefits. We can help you figure out the net cost for college, taking all financial factors into consideration.
