Digital Parent

It's the season of seeking scholarship money. Parents and caregivers are searching all over the internet to locate scholarship applications to assist with the increasingly high cost of college tuition. The parents that are not searching for scholarships are hoping that their child's 529 plan will be enough to fund 4-5 years of college. Then there are parents that have paid anywhere from 500-5,000 dollars to hire a college planner to locate free institutional grants to provide their child with a free ride to college. On this episode of the Digital Parent Podcast we talk with one of the top college planners in the industry. Danny Umali, the founder of Game Theory College Planners, provides us with an inside look of the new field of college planning. Danny discuss how his company uses advance analytics to pinpoint the exact college that will provide a "Free ride" for your child to attend their University. Danny and I also discuss how social media is becoming the secret sauce to landing institutional grants.
