This is a bit of an Oldie but definitely a Goodie! As you plan for college and discover viable ways to pay for college, knowing the mistakes other families sometimes make can be helpful when it comes to knowing what not to do.

Most families spend much of their time looking for scholarship and funding resources but not enough time making sure to avoid easy mistakes that can cost thousands in missed opportunities.

Think about it this way: avoiding a $10,000 mistake is equivalent to finding a $10,000 scholarship. What NOT to do can equally be as important if not more important than what to do when planning for college. Mistakes can cost you thousands.

In this video I go over 9 Reasons families don’t maximize their financial aid potential. At the very least it is worth watching to make sure you avoid these financial landmines.

Good luck to you during this challenging season.
