Goals
Maximize financial aid eligibility, minimize taxes, and develop cash flow strategies to allow parents to pay for
100% of education at a public university.

Solutions
  • Specific assets were repositioned
  • Tax strategies were utilized to lower business income and allow the student to maximize eligibility for
    financial aid.
  • Retirement strategies were utilized to reduce taxable income.
(Note: Specific Strategies Utilized are proprietary to College Funding Strategies, Inc.)

Results
  • An increase in financial aid eligibility at their public university was increased by $7,077 per year for a
    total savings of $28,308.
  • A hands on student profile and assessment was completed to ensure the student was starting out with
    the best possible chance of hitting their major and career choice. By utilizing these techniques we
    believe we saved the family another year of college (5th year) and ultimately saved them an additional
    $15,000.
