Advice on Making College Affordable

10


10 per session - Virtual OK - Posted Aug 31, 2016

(Each session is 30 minutes). I will advise you on financial aid, free online classes, and frugal living methods that will help you minimize the cost of attending college without sacrificing quality of life. For loans, I will highlight the DOs and DON'Ts of financing your education and how to best pay them off if you do need to take them out. I also can discuss how to start applying for scholarships and paying your loans after graduation. Feel free to request multiple sessions if you like.

Training & Qualifications


I am a graduate of the University of Chicago who came from a low-income background from the South Side of Chicago. In my time there, I learned how to manage money, homework, and stress to make ends meet while still enjoying my time at college. I have advised colleagues at my university and students at Chicago Public Schools on this subject since September 2015.

Availability & Preferences


Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday 9am to 8pm, except for 3pm to 5pm on Monday and Wednesday. Free on Wednesday and Saturday, 9am to 3pm. On Sunday, free from 9am to 8pm.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!
