Are these your concerns?

\

The cost of college continues to rise every year at a rate higher that is higher than inflation.

\
The college admissions process is complicated and varies greatly from school to school.  It is both time consuming and expensive.
\
Choosing the right college is complicated, not only does it need to be affordable, but your child also needs to be accepted.
\
Choosing a college is often an emotional topic, often leaving logic and rational choices and decisions off the table.
\
There are over 1400 colleges within the United States from which to choose.
\
College expenses are more than the cost of tuition and books; room and board, transportation, and extra-curricular activities all contribute to the overall costs.
\

Most often, the costs for college are paid with after-tax savings.  This hides the real costs.

\
Applying for financial aid is often complicated.
\
Many families will find that their earnings and/or their assets will disqualify them for many of the best financial aid programs.
