Benjamin Franklin once said "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail." I tell my own children this and I live this philosophy with my clients. I understand many students and parents don't know where to start with the college planning process so they put it off. No more. At Afford Your College Dream, you receive the step by step roadmap to plan and find your dream college, apply and find scholarships and grants!
"My HS GPA was good but my ACT score didn't reflect my effort or smarts. I didn't think I could get into the school I wanted. I did nothing. My parents forced me to use the writing and masterclass and I'm glad. I got all my applications in before my senior year and by December I found out I not only was admitted to my dream school but received a huge Trustee's scholarship. I then applied for and earned outside scholarships. I am so happy."
"I wanted to go to a small private university but thought I could never afford the $55K a year price tag without loans. Heather broke down the myths about private schools, showed my parents and I that it is affordable and helped me leverage my strengths, get in AND earn a huge scholarship plus multiple outside scholarships. I pay less than $3.5K a semester for college thanks to AYCD."
"My husband and I didn't save for college. We also didn't qualify for aid through FAFSA. We falsely assumed that student debt was what all families took on. Our two oldest kids graduated with over $30K each in college loans. Then we found Heather. Her tools removed the stress between me and my senior, and helped them win scholarships. He'll graduate next year (2023) debt free."
