While high school seniors are focusing on putting the finishing touches on their college applications, parents are worrying about how they are going to afford the cost of college. The rule of thumb is the earlier you start to plan the better off you will be.
The reality of the situation is that it is very difficult to plan and have enough money to afford the cost of college in this day and age. The financial aid and scholarship process can be overwhelming and often many families miss out on aid they are entitled to simply because they are unaware of basic information.
