Former Dean Spills the Beans
Hi, I’m Jason Slone, PhD, CCFC, — aka “Dr. J.”
I’m a former University Dean turned Certified College Financial Consultant (CCFC), which is like a CPA for financial aid.
If you know how the system works, there are many ways to get financial aid — even if you’re a high income family.
On average, I can find $50k+ in savings per family. Often more.
How? Through a combination of:
Re-positioning your non-retirement assets to lower the SAI
Finding good-fit colleges that will give you lots of aid
Filing the FAFSA and CSS Profile forms accurately
Getting private foundation scholarships
Appealing award offers to get more money
Researching student loans to find ones the best rates
PS - I eat my own cooking. I have 2 in college who’ll graduate debt-free.
What Parents Say
“I highly recommend Jason for all your college financial planning needs. We were clueless when we started this journey and with his help we learned what schools were a good financial match for our daughter. Jason was also extremely helpful in navigating the confusing FAFSA process. Working with Jason helped us maximize our financial picture for college. I would not recommend going this alone and Jason can be a helpful, thorough, and knowledgeable support in this process.” - Dr. Jessica R., Psychologist
“Dr. J assisted me in getting ready to complete our financial aid forms. He made suggestions I overlooked initially. With multiple kids in college, 529 plans, and a recent change in family circumstances, his advice saved us a substantial amount of money. More importantly, based on his advice, the choice of which college to attend did not depend on the cost. You can send your kids to college without Dr. J’s advice - but I wouldn’t.” - Timothy P., Attorney
“We had a funding gap at the college our daughter attends, and had questions about getting loans to cover it. Dr. J helped us understand the student and parent loan landscape, which loans were best for our situation, and strategies for managing the debt after graduation. This allowed us to make informed decisions. Very helpful, highly recommend.” - Brett B., Business Executive
“Without Dr. J, I never would have learned about a simple way to get access to $20k for each one of my twins, $40k total, who are attending college at the same time. This was just from my first call with Jason. A little goes a long way!” - Seth C., Entrepreneur
“Jason was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in navigating the financial aid and FAFSA process!” Cathleen W., Retiree
“Risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing” - Warren Buffett
