My son's college freshman year cost us $70,000 out of pocket, and I was feeling hopeless and overwhelmed about how I'd pay for my daughter, who's a junior in high school. It's crippling to not know where to start.

So being on this extremely thorough workshop was crucially beneficial – especially the 8 takeaways. I'm a clinical psychologist, so as a busy parent of two kids, the workshop just kind of pinpointed everything I needed to know instead of spending hours getting the wrong information on my own.

I'm actually excited about this whole process now because I'm educated. Now my costs have gone down from $70,000 a year to $20-30k.

I've attached last year's FAFSA/EFC, as well as this year's:

It wasn't a teaser, it was purely informational. And I love that. And cuz at the back of my mind it's always like, okay, so what are you gonna pitch me now?

It was fast-paced and honestly an information overload. People were asking questions in the chat and Mike wasn't skimping on the answers and I like that.

I was very skeptical ahead of time. I thought there would be basically lackluster information and just trying to pull into another phone call. So I was surprised and like pleasantly surprised with the amount of information.

The workshop was really great in terms of explaining the basics for someone coming in with a first-time college student. I learned so much more than I was expecting to in that hour of time. The excel spreadsheet was the hammer home of really understanding what we can qualify for [based on our income].

I would recommend [the workshop] to other folks in our situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

"Does this include help for high school Juniors only?"

This workshop is vital for students all the way from Grade 8 - 12, as well as students in their freshman year of college.

Many parents think it’s too late by freshman year of college, but there are still many cost savings to be had even if your student is already attending college, or is a senior in high school.

The rule of thumb is this: the younger your student is, the more financial aid you can get for them. Many students, with proper financial planning, can go to college for nothing - a free ride.

"How can my Expected Family Contribution (EFC/SAI) even be lowered? Isn’t it just your tax information?"

It’s a common myth that you’re "stuck with the EFC/SAI that you get"—this is simply not true.

How your income, child’s income, assets, and real estate are declared has more flexibility than most people know, and you will learn many of the foundational strategies that tens of thousands of American families use every year to avoid getting an artificially inflated EFC/SAI.

"Does this work for CSS Profile schools?"

I will also cover strategies for CSS profile schools. If you’re not sure what a CSS Profile school is, this webinar will explain all the basics in simple layman's terms.

"My family makes too much income to qualify for any financial aid - should I even attend?"

This is the most common thing I hear from the thousands of parents I talk to every year. We have families making over $1m in Annual General Revenue who have saved tens of thousands of dollars on college.

"I’m divorced/separated/remarried, and my situation is too complex for you to help."

40% of the families we help are in a similar situation as you and improve their circumstances dramatically.

Our Practice FAFSA Tool will be especially useful for you since your FAFSA EFC/SAI will be much different than your CSS PROFILE EFC/SAI.

Some parents only need to report 1 income. Other parents may need to report up to 4 incomes (both parents from both families) depending on your household structure.

"Is it ok if I’m new to the financial aid conversation?"

Yes, absolutely! We break it down step-by-step in the live event. This workshop comprehensively takes you from A to Z. At the same time, we've had families who are very experienced in the college funding process tell us they discovered gold nuggets in the webinar that have saved them thousands.

"Are you going to try and sell me life insurance?"

Absolutely not.

Run, don’t walk, from anyone who advises you that life insurance is an important component of college financial aid.

"What are you trying to sell me?"

My business model is simple: I run this free webinar that is jam-packed with useful information every parent needs to know about college financial aid, including some advanced strategies many paid programs don’t even cover.

The Bootcamp is not for everyone. If you join the free webinar and decide that the Bootcamp is not for you, then you can enjoy our free giveaways and use the concepts learned to cut your EFC/SAI and college costs. We hear from hundreds of families who say that they saved tens of thousands from the free content alone.

If you love the free webinar, you can pay for our College Aid 2.0 Bootcamp. The paid content is the same quality as our free webinar but with 4x the content and is designed to springboard off the free webinar. You cannot sign up for our Bootcamp without first doing the free webinar. Otherwise, you'll miss the key concepts necessary to understand what I cover in the Bootcamp.
