			<title>Where Are You Going to College? The Wrong Question to Ask.</title>
			<description><![CDATA[Where are you going to college? That is not merely the wrong question, it is an unhelpful question.        On what basis does a teenager, a 16 or 17 year-old, answer that question? I'll tell you the colleges' multi-million dollar marketing campaigns.       Not only that, you can easily list on one page, one column of one page, the college names that are cited ninety-nine times out of one hundred.       A far better line of questioning is, &quot; Why  are you going to college? What do you plan ...]]></description>

			<title>FAFSA: Is it a loan and how much can I get?</title>
			<description><![CDATA[How much money should I get from FAFSA?   That is a question I am asked often. The answer is none, zero, nil. No matter who you are, or how little money you earn or have you can be flat penniless and FAFSA will give you no money, because FAFSA has no money.  Stop. Before you recite in your mind all of the stories of friends and family who received substantial sums of money &quot;from FAFSA,&quot; let's get the facts straight.  What is FAFSA? The Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The key is the ...]]></description>

			<title>&amp;#x22;Graduate in Four Years, Debt Free&amp;#x22;</title>
			<description><![CDATA[&quot;Graduate in Four Years, Debt Free&quot; The Headline Fired Me Up!         By George Gately, IEC, CCA Mooresville, NC      &quot;A chance to graduate in four years, debt-free&quot; that was the headline and it caught my eye.

			<title>The Best Way to Pay for College Part 2: Scholarships</title>
			<description><![CDATA[SCHOLARSHIPS FOR COLLEGE  Previously, I published an article entitled &quot; The Best Way to Pay for College&quot;  (February 16, 2021). This is an expansion on one of the topics covered: specifically, scholarships.  Searching for scholarships by browsing the internet is not the best way, nor the safest. There are scammers and hackers out there, right?! Some professional organizations, however, do the vetting and the research needed to help you find the &quot;legit&quot; awarders. One of those is the reputable ...]]></description>

			<title>Doing the Impossible with College Planning</title>
			<description><![CDATA[When it comes to college planning, time is of the essence.&amp;nbsp;  At my inbox appeared a telephone consultation reservation for July 27. No idea who the person was, and when we talked I thought, &quot;Oh my; there's no way!&quot;     Here are the details (with fictitious names):    Melissa, the mom, was desperate. Her daughter was a rising, high school senior. They had done no planning -- none!&amp;nbsp;Melissa began to cry. My heart broke and, against my better judgment, I told her I would help them.]]></description>

			<title>College Campus Culture and You</title>
			<description><![CDATA[Campus culture is an important aspect of finding the right college. You want to be happy and comfortable at the college you choose. Four years is a long time to be unhappy and uncomfortable. The question, then, is what is campus culture and how do I identify it?  Colleges have unique personalities, just as do you and I. And, like us, colleges have general characteristics that make them similar. For example, human beings have similar, physical attributes. We can pick out a human being ...]]></description>

			<title>Why Campus Visits Deserve Your Time and Energy</title>
			<description><![CDATA[Campus visits matter a lot! According to the prestigious non-profit,    Complete College America   , the second factor in students needing more than four years to complete their four-year undergraduate education is transferring from one college to another.    That is often precipitated by a change in major; which is the number one reason for prolonged, undergraduate education.        One extra year of college, in many instances, is the cost-equivalent of the first four years. You can look ...]]></description>

			<title>SAT - ACT: Take it, or go Test Optional?</title>
			<description><![CDATA[&quot;UNC System won't require SAT or ACT test scores in fall 2022&quot;  The Charlotte Observer , May 28, 2021, front page.        The headline may even be a little confusing, but the message can definitely be confusing.        The story is that  the UNC System universities  will not require SAT or ACT test scores for students completing an application to attend college beginning with the fall semester, 2022. Primarily, that means rising high school seniors (fall 2021, 12 th  graders).       The ...]]></description>

			<title>How Much is a College Education Going to Cost You, Really?</title>
			<description><![CDATA[The news is filled with stories warning about student debt, lamenting student debt, highlighting political promises to forgive student debt. I have yet to see a news story that reveals the  true cost  of a college education with or without loans.  One factor in understanding true cost is to add in opportunity cost. Another factor is missed income because a student took more than four years to graduate. A third factor is the one most people think about, interest rates.      Let's look at them ...]]></description>
