EDUCATION PLANNING

Investing in a child’s future success by financially planning today.

EDUCATION PLANNING

The gift of higher education without the burdens of debt.

Supporting a child’s education can be one of the most rewarding aspects of success and one of the most important elements in your financial plan. With rising inflation and the high cost of education, planning to contribute to another’s higher education may require an early start. The estimated costs for four years of education 18 years from now at a public college is in excess of $100,000 and over $200,000 for a private school. So the sooner you get started investing in your child’s education, the better.

Start planning today.

Although it is best to start the college investment process when your child is young, it is never too late to begin. No matter your child’s age, what’s important is that you plan now. It is easy to put off thinking about these expenses, hoping that your child will receive scholarships or financial aid. But don’t count on them. While these awards do help with college funding, they are not guaranteed, not always comprehensive and not available to everyone.
