Families often overpay for college, take on too much debt, and hurt their savings and retirement plans because they’ve tumbled unprepared into the late-stage college funding pressure cooker. Join us in the library for a Money School Class that will explain the following Keys to Cutting College Costs:

• Key #1: Parents MUST lead the college selection process (with the child as co-pilot) because you have the most to lose.
• Key #2: Higher education is actually a buyer’s market, despite news about increased costs and high rejection rates.
• Key #3: Gather the PEGS (price, expected family contribution, graduation rate, and starting salary) for your schools to start the process of identifying the best deal and best price.
• Key #4: “Will my child qualify for aid?” is best answered when you understand how aid, scholarships, and loans work to produce the lowest college cost possible.
