Do you worry about how you’ll pay for higher education for you or your children? Tuition prices can seem daunting, but solutions exist.

Join Andy Lockwood, best-selling author and college advisor, on Sept. 9 at 7 p.m. for a free virtual event that will show you how to cut college costs by 52.2 percent or more. “Many Long Island families mistakenly think they can’t qualify for financial aid because they’ve never heard about legal ‘loopholes’ in the financial aid formulas,” Lockwood said. “I’m planning to share at least four cost-cutting strategies any family can use to slash college tuition by 52.2 percent, or even more, in the webinar.”

Hosted by Lockwood College Prep and produced by RichnerLIVE, a Herald sister company, this webinar reveals how families can comfortably afford college, especially during tough economic times in the pandemic, even if they do not qualify for financial aid. You’ll discover strategies that can help you shave thousands off the cost of a quality education, including:

How Covid-19 affects college admissions and financial aid.

Methods to negotiate with top tier universities so they can cost less than a state school.

Types of savings accounts that do not penalize you in financial aid formulas.

The 529 Savings Plan.

Legal loopholes business owners can take to unlock cash buried in their businesses.

How one Huntington family negotiated an extra $38,000 per year from the University of Pennsylvania.

Lockwood will also answer your questions in real time. He is the co-owner and co-founder of Lockwood College Prep, an educational consultant company on Long Island, with his wife, Pearl Lockwood. He is also author of “How to Negotiate Your Crappy Financial Aid and Merit Aid Offer,” which has an updated edition on how coronavirus will impact your aid.

All who sign up and attend this webinar will receive a free copy of Lockwood’s book. Attendance is limited and no replay is planned. Register at liherald.com/virtualevents9-9.
