The information provided is invaluable for those trying to navigate affording college for themselves or loved ones.

Julie Shields-Rutyna was a terrific presenter. Together with her colleague, Jennifer, they were able to answer everyone's questions. The information was helpful, actionable and timely. For example, we were reminded of timelines that college-bound students need to keep in mind (specifically asking junior year high school teachers for recommendations this spring); even though we have been through the process with our older student. Furthermore, the online resources they shared will help our middle child chart her own course to college by building credible lists and showing demonstrated interest.
