We are just a couple of weeks away from FAFSA being available for Seniors in High school, so I wanted to share a couple of take aways from a research paper put out by Sallie Mae.   In the research paper it details how we are paying for college in the US.  Specifically I thought it was interesting when the paper discussed “How families feel about the costs of college”.   The important word is “Feel” as what I have found is choosing and paying for college is an emotional time for families.  I know this first hand as I am the parent of a college student and Junior in High School.  It is very difficult balancing the emotions of choosing a college and actually paying for it.   

Our goal at University Financial Strategies to help college bound families become an educated consumer of a college education, so these finding really highlight the importance of planning.  Please watch and learn more about these finding.
