Beth Walker is the Founder and CEO of Center for College Solutions.

Choosing a college and paying for it is one of the biggest investments families face, often with very little guidance. You don’t have to do this alone. Beth Walker and Center for College Solutions help your student get what they need academically, socially, and emotionally, without burying your family in debt.

Beth is also the author of Never Pay Retail for College: How Smart Parents Find the Right School for the Right Price and Buying College Better: Have Complete Confidence in Your Choice of School.

In our conversation, Beth and I discussed:

  • Why you need to fill out the FAFSA even if you don’t think you will qualify for financial aid
  • How the MAGIC method will make buying college easier
  • How college is like buying a home
  • How to avoid the heartbreak of getting into your dream college but not being able to afford it
  • How a student's ‘Academic FICO Score’ should guide your college planning process
  • How scholarships have been neglected in the college planning process
  • BUY ONE GET ONE FREE OFFER!

    Is the cost of your child's college education keeping you up at night?

    Is your college savings plan insufficient or non-existent?

    Are you worried that your student will be paying back student loans for the rest of their life?

    Those were my fears, too!

    I didn't want my son to be burdened with student loans for 20+ years of his life. But, I had failed to save enough money to pay for his college degree. 

    So, I coached him to win nearly $100,000 in scholarships, and he's now a debt-free college graduate!

    Students don't need a perfect 4.0 GPA to win scholarships!

    Average students can win scholarships if they know how.

    Students don't have to come from a low-income household to win scholarships!

    Most scholarships don't even ask about a student's financial situation.

    Students don't have to be star athletes to win scholarships!

    Sports scholarships make up a tiny fraction of the scholarships out there.

    Scholarships are not just for college-bound students.

    Many scholarships can be used for trade and technical schools, and some even pay cash with no requirements for how the funds are used.

    Having success with scholarships requires a plan, and that’s what Scholarship GPS provides.

    Now, for the first time ever, when you purchase the Scholarship GPS Course, you will also get Beth Walker’s Buying College Better Course for FREE!
