College Planning and Funding
Will you be able to afford to send your children to college?
 Like automobiles and houses, the cost of a college education is spiraling upward at a remarkable pace. In recent years, some schools have raised their tuition at rates that are double that of inflation. In fact, a child born today will probably face college costs ranging from $92,000 for four years at a public university to over $227,000 for a degree from a private institution. As high as these figures may seem they don't have to put a college degree beyond your child's reach.
