Paying for College

If you missed CollegeWeekLive’s free virtual fair, Paying for College, you can still see many of the presentations here.

If you’d like to see my presentation, “How to Save $50,000 on College” click here.  More than 120 attendees from across the country (and outside) asked great questions about managing the total costs of college.

If you were in attendance and we ran out of time before I could answer your question, come back here in the next few days and look for a post with answers to the most frequently asked questions!  And remember, you can always email me directly at laura@saveonyoureducation.com or laura@backtoschoolforgrownups.com.

Virtual College Fair – For Parents and Teens

Have you ever attended a virtual college fair?  If you are over 20 the answer is probably no.  Here is your chance to see how the 20 and under crowd is doing the college tour!

A few months ago I spoke to adult learners at College Week Live’s virtual Diversity Day.  Watch the entire presentation (including the Q&A with viewers) here. Then tell your kid to register for CWL’s next event for teens: Paying For College, this Thursday, January 12th.  A whole heap of colleges including Yale and several military academies are scheduled to be there.  And, I’ll be sharing tips on “How to Save $50,000 on College”.  Tune in with your teen and play stump-the-speaker during the Q&A.  bit.ly/xg9ZGf
