The College Solution Center, a new financial aid consulting firm based in New Jersey, believes that millions of middle class families are getting ripped off because they are needlessly overpaying for college.
“Most six figure-earning families mistakenly think ‘Financial Aid isn’t for folks like us,” according to Andrew Lockwood, J.D., best-selling author, internationally renowned college consultant and President of The College Solution Center. “They couldn’t be further from the truth. Knowledgeable, affluent families can easily receive tuition discounts of 45% - or more - if they know where to find and take advantage of legal and ethical loopholes in the financial aid system,” Lockwood said.
Even more problematic is the complexity and lack of transparency of the financial aid process. “There are 7 recurring, deadly ‘landmines’ - that, each and every year, families fall prey to on the FAFSA and other financial aid forms. Even a silly little mistake can can literally cost thousands - or tens of thousands of dollars - in lost eligibility that the family otherwise deserved,” Lockwood said.
“The travesty is that the financial aid rules are extremely anti-middle class. In many cases, responsible families who worked hard and lived below their means are actually penalized for doing the right thing!” Lockwood said. “Not knowing the rules, or making one of those innocuous little mistakes, can have huge repercussions: it could mean the difference between being able to send your child to the dream school that she deserves to attend, versus breaking her heart by admitting you can’t afford it!” Lockwood said.
To celebrate its launch, and to help fulfill its mission to help “Forgotten Middle Class” families comfortably afford to send their children to America’s top colleges, The College Solution Center is offering three free, valuable gifts:
1) A downloadable copy of Lockwood’s #1 Best Selling book, How to Pay “Wholesale” for College, an easy-to-read guide on how six figure-earning families can qualify for five figure financial aid awards
2) A new special report, The College Consumer Guide, a short guide on how to get into - and qualify for deep discounts at - the top colleges in the country
3) A recently discovered “lost” interview that Lockwood conducted with a long-time member of the Admissions Committee at one of the nation’s most elite colleges on how the admissions process really works.
