Financial Aid Appeals Early Bird Discount

Uncategorized Jan 29, 2024

If your kiddo just got into the college of their dreams but you finally took a look at the REAL cost of attendance --  and you're sweatier than a passenger in a window seat of a Boeing 737...

...If you're stressed and anxious about how on God's green earth you'll come up with the scratch to pay for college, THIS should cheer you up a wee bit: 

Your "final" offer may not actually be final!

Colleges have a little-known process -- little known because they don't want you to know about it -- to negotiate or appeal your financial aid or merit scholarship award.  And the more expensive the college, the more likely they are to bargain!

Why?  Simple.  They're businesses, and need to put paying customers in their empty seats.

Now that we're in the midst of yet another RECORD year of application volume, that injects more uncertainty and pressure into the process...for the COLLEGES.

They have to hit enrollment targets, which ain't easy.  This time of year, behind the scenes at most colleges, there are a ton of plates spinning and chaotic, high stakes, stressful late night meetings for admissions officers, which means one thing for you:

It's a Buyer's Market

You have more control and power than you think.  This could be the best year ever for college negotiations!

And I want to help you get every last dollar you deserve to take advantage of these unprecedented conditions, so that you can comfortably afford college without scrimping on your lifestyle or saddling your child -- or YOU -- with tens of thousands in college debt.

That's why we're making our master class on how to negotiate with colleges is available to you for a sweet 200 buckeroos off!

You're getting this "Early Action Scholarship" because you're a subscriber to my email list and deserve a little relief from the rip-off, overpriced colleges! They don't care if we're on the verge of a recession or suffering from massive inflation. Think they're gonna lower their prices?  Hah.

This deal expires February 1. Here's where to go:

I said that colleges are businesses and don't always give you their best, initial offer.  

You are ALSO in business, whether you realize it or not.  You owe it to yourself to get the best deal possible. 

And don't tell me that you're afraid to "take" money away from another, more deserving family.

You're not. Colleges have plenty of moolah.  Endowment returns for the biggest colleges were north of 30% last year!  Don't feel bad for these (non-profit -- HAH) institutions.

Look,  you have to pay for college, but you don't have to leave a tip!  

Chew in that!

See ya!
