I try to identify some of the best private scholarships available, and coach you on how to work the system to shake loose gift money. I tell you what to watch out for when taking out loans. (Loans account for one-half of all financial aid!).
I focus on the undergraduate financial aid challenge but do handle numerous students heading toward the graduate financial scene. I continue to hear stories of graduate students finishing their studies with more debt than a condo would cost. Financing the higher education part of the American dream is a nightmare that won't go away!
I assist your student in the college selection and admission process. You will not be considered for financial aid until your student has been admitted. Therefore, the student is a critical part of the process.
I sponsor SAT/ACT prep courses through the Princeton Review. Schedules are posted for Charleston, WV on their website at www.princetonreview.com. Increased standardized test scores can mean more financial aid!
I aid the student in deciding on a major and then assist them to pick a list of colleges that will provide them the best education in their field of study. Remember, the whole reason they are going to college is to get a job! Therefore, I want to place them in a reputable school to facilitate them getting a job soon after college.
