Educational costs are mounting. Here’s an action agenda that can help clients cope.

My Comments: Increasingly, the journals and magazines addressed to financial planners like myself include articles about paying for college. This one has a great title, and a quick read gives me these action items:

Get and early start
Set up a 529 Plan
Maximize assitance
Snag a loan
Shop for a better price
Deploy “kid share” (whatever that means)
For Some: Plan B

These are all legitimate steps to think about, to consider, and perhaps implement. No matter how you cut it, encouraging your children to get a college education is one of the last major efforts you can make as you watch them transition into adulthood.

But none of these many articles make any mention of the fact that every college admissions office has at its disposal, millions of dollars it can use to encourage and influence those students it wants to have enrolled at their college or university. But you have to have a way for them to know you exist, otherwise all the limitations that can possibly exist will rear their ugly head.
