Course Description

With the cost of higher education on the rise, advisors working with individual clients have the opportunity and responsibility to help clients understand how education costs factor into their big picture financial plan. This presentation will serve as the foundation piece in which financial planners can learn the basics of college planning and how they can begin to incorporate these services into their practices. The session will discuss how to approach college savings vehicles, the financial aid system, and different strategies associated with the planning areas involved at a minimum.

Learning Objectives:


  • Define the fundamentals of college planning and how the financial aid system works.

  • Determine how to advise students and families on navigating the college planning process through academic planning, tax planning, financial aid planning, and cash flow planning strategies.

  • Identify how to work with clients (and other advisors) no matter what stage in the education planning process they are in.
