Are you ready to pay for college?
Do you have a plan to pay for it?
If you’re like most parents, the answer might feel like “not really”—and that’s okay. You’re not alone.
But what if I told you there’s a way to slash those sky-high costs legally, ethically, and totally above board?
Let me show you the secrets colleges don’t want you to know about making a degree affordable without sacrificing quality—or your financial future.
Hi, I’m Andrea Stein—Certified College Funding Specialist, Financial Coach, and mom of three college-bound kids. I’ve been where you are: staring down astronomical tuition bills and wondering, How on earth are we going to afford this?
Here’s the truth: There’s a secret colleges DON’T want you to know about paying for the most expensive thing ever—and it’s called Merit Aid.
Imagine slashing college costs by 30%, 50%, or even 70%—without taking on crushing debt or raiding your retirement. With the right strategies, it’s not only possible, it’s achievable for almost any student.
