Local
College Aid Foundation Saves Parents $12,757 In College Expenses!
Irving
was really mad now. “I can’t believe I’m getting nailed this bad.
I seem to be supporting the entire university myself,” he thought
to himself. Once again, he had to write a big check for his son’s
tuition. Once again he had been told by the school’s financial
aid officer that, “There is nothing you can do about it. You know
that we’re doing all that we can to help you.”
Somehow Irving knew that the school’s financial aid officer had
to be working against him. “He must be. Why else would he be so
willing to roll over and play dead for the university.”
As Irving finished subtracting the amount of the check to the
school from his checkbook, he was staring at a pile of unread
newspapers on the coffee table. There was a headline on yesterday’s
paper that said, “College-Costs Rising At An Average of 7.8% Per
Year; Many Parents Worried!”
Irving started to get hyper. He read the article and got even
worse. The report explained how the rise in college costs will
have to be shouldered by new students and their parents. The story
went on to say that while higher fees and tuition are inevitable,
there were still many loopholes and strategies to legally reduce
the amount of money any student and parent would be required to
pay out of their own pockets. And that most parents of college
bound students never used even a small percentage of the secrets
the colleges preferred people didn’t know.
“If
people only knew how many ways there are to reduce their out of
pocket costs, they wouldn’t be complaining too loudly!” The article
added.
Irving had enough. “I’m going to fight back legally, I’ll never
again be so naïve.” He knew that starting tomorrow he was going
to stop worrying and take action. As he picked up the telephone,
he vowed that he was going learn “The 9 New Ways to Beat The High
Cost of College!” A copy of this FREE REPORT is available by calling
