Have You Had “The College Money Talk?”

There are some conversations that are hard for families to have. Have you had “the talk” – not the one about the birds and the bees, but the other one that’s really hard to have: the College Money Talk.

The reality is that every parent wishes they had more saved and started saving earlier. You don’t want to let your kids down. That is every parent’s worst fear.

You are not alone!

Having a realistic money conversation as a family will keep hearts from being broken and ensure that your student graduates with manageable student debt, without robbing mom and dad’s retirement or delaying your student’s adult decisions such as travel, cars, houses, marriage, and family.

IT STARTS BY KNOWING YOUR SCORE!

Remove Emotion from the Equation

With all the emotions that go along with sending a child to college, it’s easy to get lost and confused. The results can mean emotional or financial devastation for the student and family alike. Take emotion out of the decision and Know Your Score!

What score? Knowing Your Score is the closest thing to “the crystal ball”.

Unless you are among the most talented to get a scholarship large enough to cover the entire cost of attendance, funding is primarily dependent on a score, your score, and that is based upon:

  • Your Expected Family Contribution (EFC)
  • Whether the school is private or public
  • Your Admissions Quotient (AQ)

Know Your Score before searching universities. Don’t leave money on the table or waste time pursuing schools that aren’t a match. Just because you get college brochures in the mail does not mean you are getting admitted, and it certainly does not mean getting free money.
