It all comes down to Trust.
There are billions and billions of dollars floating around in the world of college, in the form of parent college payments, government subsidies, government-backed loans, private student loans, 529 Plan assets, etc. It stands to reason that where there is enormous sums of money, there may be some people willing to compromise their values to get some or to defend their bureaucracy's turf. The news is rife with stories of college officials receiving kickbacks or favors for steering students to one lender over another; the leadership team of a few "non-profit" organizations involved with college fly on private Gulfstreams and earns hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in income; and the
government agencies related to college employ thousands of people in this massive bureaucracy known as financial aid.
Education Funding Solutions, LLC seeks to earn your trust by our willingness to provide valuable, customized college planning information - FREE of charge - and in advance, if parents prefer, of our first in-person or online meeting. Unlike most college planning firms, we inform parents what we will save them on the cost of college before we ask to be compensated to structure the college plan. Most college planning firms "enhance financial aid eligibility" which is in reality, a hope that parents are awarded more aid (since aid cannot ever be guaranteed). Education Funding Solutions puts together college financing plans, based on our detailed estimate of parents' future out-of-pocket college costs. We compare our plans to EACH of the alternative financing plans parents have available to them
and if we cannot beat the alternatives, parents see that - in black and white - and realize that they would be better off using one of the alternatives. We do NOT seek to be employed by families we cannot help and it is for this reason that
we illustrate to families what they can save on the cost of
college prior to a family making any sort of commitment to a plan (or even an appointment!). Contact us or attend one of our online or live workshops and get a feel for whether you trust us. Because in the end, you need a trusted advisor - like Education Funding Solutions - by your side.
