What to Expect
At StudyPoint we believe that college tuition has gotten completely out of hand, and one of our goals is to help families create college options that are a great fit for the student and a smart investment for the parents. In this session, our experts on financial aid pull back the curtain on how all of this works. They’ll share data on the true cost of college, offer ideas and insights on navigating financial aid options, give tips for maximizing merit aid awards, and help you make savvy decisions that can lower your overall tuition bill.
Together, our panelists have decades of experience in the college financing and admissions space, and have helped guide hundreds of students through the process of applying and paying for college. This group knows financial aid inside and out, and they’re eager to offer their valuable perspectives to help parents and students navigate an often overwhelming process.
Featuring Our Panelists
Peg Keough
Director of Education,
College Aid Pro
When Peg’s twins hit high school, she did a deep dive into all things college. She quickly saw how complicated and stressful the college funding process had become. She had an AHA! moment and realized she could combine her decade of experience in financial planning and wealth management with her in-depth knowledge of college financial planning to really impact families. This led her to found Way to the Quad in 2014, where she helped thousands of parents navigate the college financial planning journey so they could proactively secure discounts on the cost of college. Peg brought this passion to College Aid Pro as the Director of Education where she is an integral part of the education planning process for both parents and advisors. Peg is a recognized thought leader and frequent speaker at schools and organizations. She holds degrees from Cornell University and Indiana University.
