Are you starting to worry about how you (or your child) are going to pay for college? In this episode of Demystifying College Admissions, we have guest, Denise Thomas, whose mission is to educate parents who take an active role in supporting their children to live a life of financial freedom. Denise, a financial coach and international best selling author who has helped both of her children get through college debt-free, and wants to help you make this possible for your child as well!

  • When you should start looking into scholarships from the colleges you want to attend
  • How your SAT/ACT score can be relevant even after you’ve been admitted into the school of your dreams
  • The best time to start the financial aid and scholarship side of the college process
  • How often you should be applying for scholarships in your senior year
  • How family members can help in the scholarship process
  • What parents can do to provide a game-changing element to their child’s application process
