Description: 

There is no purchase as significant as college that families -- and their financial professionals -- comparatively know as little about. The increase in cost and complexity has families desperate for answers, and offers advisors a tremendous opportunity to provide value.

College planning is much more than 529 plans, and understanding this hot topic better can elevate you and your practice. You will not want to miss hearing a national expert share specific strategies every financial professional should know about to help families navigate the complicated college process and save tens of thousands of dollars.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of the session, attendees will:

  • Understand how the college purchase has changed and why it is essential to be knowledgeable on it to serve their clients
  • Analyze the two types of financial aid attendees can access to pay for college, how they differ, and how they can used
  • Learn at least one specific strategy to save families money on the college purchase
