Navigating for College: Saving a Little Goes a Long Way

With the average student loan debt for graduates growing to $26,000 in 2013 and with the outstanding student loans in the United States exceeding $1 Trillion, there has never been a better time to be discussing options when it comes to paying for college.

Roschke & Wall, Business Advisors and CPAs, Inc. recognizes that many people do not realize the opportunities that are available when it comes to scholarships, 529 plans, financial aid, and tax benefits for education.

 On September 12th, we are hosting a night of "College Knowledge" with four speakers to help sort through the flood of information that is out there.
