How to Secure Admission to U.S. Colleges/Universities with Full Funding and Avoid Debt


Hello Reader,

I hope this message finds you well. If you are a prospective college student or have a prospective college student in your life, chances are that not only are you concerned about gaining admission to the appropriate college, but you are also concerned about the cost.

If so, you are not alone. College costs have risen exponentially over the last few decades and household incomes have not kept up. As a result, families have increasingly relied on debt to pay for college. But this has also become unsustainable with student loan debt approaching $2 trillion (with a T!). This has also created a situation where some parents are taking on debt on behalf of their children while still paying off their student loans.

But there is a better way. Admission to U.S. colleges and universities with full funding and without debt is absolutely possible. And it does not matter if a student is interested in an elite very selective college like Harvard or a school that few people have heard of. Our students have done it. They have received admission offers with full funding from selective and non-selective colleges across the country worth hundreds of thousands of dollars per offer. These include Harvard, Cornell. University of Miami, Union College, McDaniel College, etc.

How have they done it? By following our tried and tested framework. If you have a prospective college student in your life who will be applying to college starting in Fall 2025 or later (current high school juniors and younger) I invite you to come learn about it at my upcoming FREE live webinar on Saturday December 7 at 3pm ET. Registration is required. (Note if you saw a previous invite about this, the date has changed). I will discuss in more detail how our framework works and how we produce the results we get.

Here is what you will learn at the webinar:

  1. Our signature framework that our students use to gain admission into U.S. colleges/universities with full funding and avoid debt.
  2. The most important factor in seeking admission with fully-funded scholarships.
  3. The most important component of the college application.
  4. The 10 steps to college without debt. AND…
  5. Your questions about college admissions answered, live.

Please register immediately and don't put this off. Be sure to submit your questions ahead of time. I hope to see you there. Also please forward this email to anyone with current high school juniors who will be applying to college in 2025.

The College Affordability-Democracy Nexus As college costs rise and alternatives are promoted, I examine why higher education still matters—for students, families, and democracy. January 11, 2026 In this first newsletter of 2026, we are picking up where we left off in our last issue: the question so many families are asking right now — is college still worth it? As I shared previously, for most people who would enjoy college and are prepared for its academic rigor, the answer remains yes. The...

Year-End Reflections: Is College Still Worth It? In our final newsletter of the year, we reflect on grief, gratitude, and why helping students secure college admission with full funding matters now more than ever. Why access, affordability, and full funding must be part of the conversation December 23, 2025 As we arrive at almost the end of December—and the close of another year—I want to pause and acknowledge something important. We made it. And yet, even as we give thanks for life, this...

Added to this is the rising cost of everything. Amid all of...
