 College Families Bushwhacked by New Loan LegislationUnder the guise of aiding college families overwhelmed and victimized by the student loan crisis, The Ensuring Continued Access to Student Loans Act of 2008, not only fails its intended purpose, but actually is quite damaging to the very same students it intended to benefit. All it has done is add fuel to an ongoing fire by ensuring that colleges and lenders would benefit at the expense of students and their families… Harvard’s 10% Financial Aid Policy Ain’t Necessarily soOver the past ten years, Harvard’s grant appropriations have increased 143 percent, and in 2008 and beyond, more than 90 percent of Harvard families will qualify for what appears, on the surface, to be a most generous financial aid program. Fact is, Harvard has so much money it could actually pay the tuition for the entire student body for the next 100 years and still have billions of dollars left over! Nice, if you can get it... The College Financial Aid Gift That Keeps on GivingIn the financial aid formulas, students have no asset protection allowance and lose 20 cents per year for every dollar in their name. Appearing asset poor can significantly help make sending a student to the college of their choice a financial reality. Gifting is one of the few legal ways this can be accomplished.

As students approach the high school years, it is understandable why so many parents feel the stress to financially prepare for tuition and related costs as they have not only gone through the roof already but continue to increase as much as 15% ever year! With no relief in sight, how can a college or college-bound family survive? College Families Will be Overpaying Their Taxes – Again!Families who made their best guess as to which of the Education Tax Incentives would save them the most on their income taxes, have put their 2007 tax returns to bed. However, for many, a sigh of relief is a bit premature. Countless families, even when assisted by professional tax preparers, chose incorrectly and will or have significantly overpaid the IRS – AGAIN! Congress Extends Tax Deduction for Millions of College FamiliesThanks to a last minute effort by Congress in December, President Bush extended the Tuition and Fees Deduction for one more year. However, while the opportunity has been viewed as a yearlong Christmas present for some of the 4.7 million families with students in college, for many – all that glitter won’t produce any gold!
