Families of college-bound students all share the same desired outcome: a graduate with a well-paying job and minimal or no student loan debt. However, sometimes the path to achieving this goal can be confusing for parents. That’s why we created My College Corner. We know that while circumstances are different for every family, gaining admission to the right school and figuring out to pay for it are universal.
What We Do
My College Corner helps parents navigate the complex process of planning for college. We provide you with relevant information, topical webinars, cutting-edge tools and personal admission and financial aid assistance.
Why this Matters
“College isn’t worth the cost”
“One trillion in student debt”
“We won’t qualify for financial aid”
“College is tough to get into”
These are just several of the statements families are subjected to as they think about college for their children. My College Corner will cut through all the noise and lead you on a clear path to post-secondary success where you will own the process and eventually say “I’ve got this!“
