This workshop is designed to help grandparents learn unique strategies to help fund college for their grandchildren in the most effective and efficient way. Topics covered are the rising costs of college and difficulties for family, changes to the financial aid system, how much can be gifted without financial aid and tax consequences, different strategies and how they impact financial aid, pros and cons of various investment vehicles that can be used for college funding/gifting, and alternative investment vehicles that enable savings to be used for more than just educational expenses.
