College Is EXPENSIVE

And even if you've been out on your own and working for a while, the options for funding it can seem daunting. Do you borrow from retirement? Cash out savings or home equity? Borrow federal or private student loans? Will going to school part-time while continuing to work really save you money? What other options are available?

Our 12-month plan includes "College Funding Strategies For Adult Learners," an online, three-week program that coaches current and prospective students through the college funding process. Weekly content includes video sessions, homework assignments, and resources/tools to help you figure this process out. 

 

Who Is The Program For?

This program is for those who are 25+ and entering or preparing to attend college in the U.S., whether you will attend a community college or a 4-year college/university. This program is for both entering students and transfer students.  

In order to take full advantage of the course, you should be able to commit to a minimum of 4 hours on course content, pre-work, and homework assignments.
