Welcome to a Parent's Guide to Making College More Affordable!

Getting accepted to college is one of life's biggest milestones - the culmination of years of hard work, and a moment of pride for your student and for you.

Figuring out how you're going to pay for college, on the other hand, can be a stressful and confusing process. It is one of the largest investments your will ever make and you can't afford not to get it right.

Zinch created a Parent's Guide to Making College More Affordable for the busy parent who wants straightforward and simple, yet thorough answers on how to navigate the confusing process of paying for college. The course's unique self-paced format and combination of on-demand videos and live office hours was designed to work around your schedule and provide immediate answers and help when you need it most.

The instructor, Jodi Okun, has been working in the college financial aid industry for over six years. Jodi began working at Occidental and Pitzer College in their financial aid offices helping thousands of families as a financial aid consultant. Jodi is also the founder of College Financial Aid Advisors, where she works closely with families to successfully navigate the financial aid process.
