Hiring a College Financial Advisor - where to turn?

dream_master_111 asked:


I’m seeking assistance in achieving my goal of financing my education. I am returning to school as an older student (30s) and will be attending school in the Fall. My first semester will be as a non-matriculated student taking three courses. In the Spring I will be matriculated and full-time and eligible for federal loans and scholarships. So, I am turning to the private loan market for the Fall semester to finance my tuition and living expenses. I’m trying to find an expert with experience in education finance to help me navigate and choose the best private loan option.
I don’t know if I should turn to a CFP with college planning experience, or a CCPS, or someone who bills themselves as a Financial Aid Expert, and wasn’t sure how to locate one such person.
Thank you for any information.

    You could check with your school for recommendations. Or you could call up a few financial institutions / banks and do your comparisons.

    ;p

    I wouldn’t pay for a CFP its just gonna cost you more. Have you done FASFA? age don’t matter its all about the income. I can help more let me know about FASFA. All colleges have advisors and I dont think they help I had to do it on my owe and I help six others let me know what you need I am pretty good at this.
