Great course! Helped me understand the realities of “merit” aid and kept me rational as my child bucked the trend and did not ED anywhere — a decision that is saving us $18k per year! I also emailed Ron out of the blue, and he responded with some very helpful thoughts on our particular situation. Highly recommend.

After doing Ron’s course I felt much more confident that my daughter, who is quite studious, will receive adequate aid at one of the many colleges in this country that offer it and perhaps through other means as well. My biggest takeaway was a sense of optimism. During this college search and application period, that sense of optimism is priceless. Ron has a lot of knowledge about college aid and how to access it; it is worth it for parents to tap into his knowledge bank to understand better how to move through what can initially seem like an oblique system and process.

Even though I’m in this field, I learned so much from this course. The information here is very empowering. I learned that the merit aid a college offers is not just a static number–Ron Lieber gives specific tools for how to effectively ask colleges for more. I was also fascinated to learn how some elite colleges, including Duke and University of Chicago, have used merit aid to pull excellent students their way. So much about the college admissions process these days makes students and families feel powerless; this course helps families take some of that power back by being as financially informed as possible.

The return on your investment in purchasing Ron’s course is exponentially better than a 529k. The college pricing and aid system are a maze that only those “in the know” can navigate. Nobody is better suited to take us by the hand and guide us through the maze than Ron Lieber.
