Elmhurst, IL—Join college planning expert Joseph Orsolini for Don’t Pay the College Sticker Price! at the Peotone Public Library Saturday, November 13th at 2p.m. In this enlightening program, Joe teaches families and students how to reduce the exorbitant costs of college.
 
“For many families, college tuition is the largest expense they will ever face,” explains Joe, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and Certified College Planning Specialist (CCPS). “In this program, I introduce the three key areas of opportunity to reduce the overall cost of a college education.”
 
Although the escalating pace of tuition inflation has become downright terrifying, Joe points out that parents do not have to tackle this daunting financial challenge alone. The college financial aid system, which includes scholarships, grants, student loans and tax-saving opportunities, was designed to help relieve this expensive burden. In Don’t Pay the College Sticker Price!, Joe reveals that this beneficial system provides relief for all parents—not just low or moderate-income families.
 
Unfortunately, most families stumble uninformed into the college planning years, lacking the proper knowledge to take advantage of these financial opportunities,” Joe says. “These parents end up paying much more than necessary for their children’s college education. I’m here to tell families that they don’t have to pay the college sticker price, and I want to educate them about the college financial aid system.”
 
Throughout his presentation, Joe focuses on strategies to help families and students maximize need-based financial aid eligibility, target the right colleges for merit-based financial aid, and exploit tax-saving opportunities. “It’s important for families to realize that the financial aid system won’t come knocking at their door,” Joe emphasizes. “You must take the initiative to learn the ins and outs of the system.”
 
To learn how your family can save a bundle on college education, join Joe for his valuable Don’t Pay the College Sticker Price program at the Peotone Public Library on Saturday, November 13th.
