If you are the parent of a college-bound student, you must be worried because you realize the cost of a college education is now between $50,000 to $160,000 and going up every day. For some families, it will be the biggest single expenditure they have ever faced.

But there is some good news! There are many excellent college and universities that are competing heavily for students and are willing to "buy" the students that they want. This one fact can substantially lower the cost of college for everyone, not just those families who will qualify for financial aid. College is a business and as long as we, as parents understand that, we can approach them accordingly. You have to understand the system inside and out and stay current with the ever-changing tax and financial aid laws as they apply to our children.

Sometimes parents and children select colleges based on their "sticker price" (tuition and room & board) but if they qualify for financial aid, or if their child is "marketable" (high GPA, SAT's and class standing), it can actually cost less to attend an expensive private school over a lesser priced state school.

We, at Complete College Solutions specialize in college and financial aid planning. We help you sort through the complicated maze of selecting the right colleges, both academically and those that offer the most FREE money. We show families how to lower the cost of college and how to pay for it without going broke or putting yourselves in debt in the process. We develop, tax, financial and academic strategies that improve cash flow and help you fund both college and retirement at the same time. Our President, David L. Karp, has been written up in Smart Money Magazine and numerous other local publications for the unique and complete work that we do for our families.
