making a college decision 

You may already know where you want to go to college, but most students and their families are often looking at various programs for the college to attend.

The CollegeBoard, publishers of the SAT, have some excellent tools for you and good instructions on how to make this complicated process seem easier.

Use the video as needed to better acquaint the student and parents with more details about making the best college decision.

Now that you have made your decision about the college you want to attend use this video for helpful information about paying for your college experience. 

Along with what you learn here you will then need to find out from the college you select what financial aid may be available for their programs.  While student loans are available in many situations, the fewer student loans you consider makes life after college graduation much simpler financially.
