"Print Scholarships" On Demand Workshop

I'll be quicker than a presidential pardon because there's not much time before I go on the air.

One of the big topics I'm planning to cover is what to do if your college "lowballs" your merit aid or need-based aid offer.   I'll share some case studies that, frankly, might be pretty hard to swallow.

But I swear it's not fake news.  Each example I describe in today's mini-webinar come straight outta Glen Head, New York, a/k/a Lockwood College Prep world headquarters (and the college negotiation capitol of the world).

Here are some additional value bombs that I will drop on today's workshop:

• How to legally "hide" your money from the financial aid office
• The dark truth about the 529 plan
• How to negotiate your so-called "final" scholarship or financial aid award
• Special "loopholes" and "landmines" for business owners 
• How much income (Adjusted Gross Income) is too much to qualify for aid?  
• How to get 56.1% off...

It's weird the way colleges decide how to award scholarships and other aid:

There's no "magic" income number.

Sure, there are a handful of exceptions, mostly from elite private colleges who claim to give full tuition to families earning 150K, 180K and even 200K.

But you have to GET INTO these elite, rarified air colleges to be in the running for the cashola.

What about the other 98% of colleges?

If you were nerdy enough (ahem) to read through the financial aid rules and regulations, websites and handbooks for college aid information, looking for an income "ceiling" or cut off number, your search would be fruitless.  Because there are 70+ other factors that go into the Double Secret Formula in addition to Adjusted Gross Income.

In our 22+ years of advising, we've had a handful clients earning more than 300K qualify for substantial amounts of need-based aid.

We've also seen those with 50K in income get zilch.

I can 'splain all that to you tomorrow afternoon.  I'm running...

Shari was thrilled for her daughter:  she got into her Dream School last week!  Her hard work in high school paid off!

A few days later, the financial aid award came.  Not good.

"They expect us to pay HOW MUCH!?" she silently screamed, so her husband wouldn't hear her.  "How am I going to tell Scott?".

I made up the names but not the scenario.   Too many families get through the college acceptance process, only to THEN -- months later -- turn their attention to how they're going to PAY for college.

Sadly, thousands of families open up their college award notices, only to be slapped in the face by the (lack of) offer.

Even sadder, this unsavory result was easily avoidable.

Thursday afternoon, I'm running a short online workshop so that you don't find yourself in this pickle next year, wondering "Where's the beef" after your son or daughter manages to get into the college they've been lusting after.  Here's a short list of what I'll be covering:

• How...
