College is expensive, and its cost is rising. In addition to the financial uncertainty all around us, we have to deal with college costs of 20, 40, even $75,000 per year. Over the last four decades, the average cost of attendance for a private college has risen almost 400% from $12,500 to $50,000 in 2019. Over this same time period the cost of college has increased at 2.4 times the rate of inflation.

 

The average student graduates from a 4-year college with $30,000 of student loan debt, adding to the $1.7 trillion of total student loan debt in the country. Students are not alone. The average parents owe $33,000 in college loans mostly borrowed to fund their children’s education.

 

A recent study by LIMRA found that a college graduate saddled with $35,000 of student loan debt would end up with upwards of $350,000 less in savings when they reach retirement. That extra time spent paying interest on their debt rather than earning it in savings adds up in a big way.

 

But wait, there is good news. Welcome to Education Planning Resources. Since 2008, we have been working with families to help them find a way to pay for college in the most efficient way possible.

 

We form strong relationships with local schools and organizations who get the word out to you about our services. This keeps our cost to you low while we help you save money on college.

 

We promise to provide your family with:

  • A comprehensive year by year strategy on how to pay for college
  • Ways to leverage FAFSA to your advantage so you can get more free money from the colleges
  • A complete college analysis of your college choices to show how much you will actually pay out of pocket, not just the list price.
  • When opportunity arises, assist you in negotiating with colleges that misaward your student

 

There is over $600 billion dollars of grant aid awarded to students each year. Put yourself in the best position to be part of that club and don’t overpay for college.
