Are you trying to figure out how to pay for your child’s dream college?
Hi, I’m Tracy Armstrong, and I’m here to show you there’s a better way.
Tracy Armstrong
Certified College Funding Specialist (CCFS®)
With over 25 years of experience in education, I’ve developed a unique approach to college planning. Unlike typical college counselors, I don’t just focus on the academic side of getting into college. I specialize in creating strategic funding plans tailored for families like yours—those caught in the middle, earning too much for significant financial aid but not enough to comfortably cover the costs without sacrifice.
Imagine sending your child to their ideal college, not just because they were accepted, but because you can genuinely afford it—without drowning in debt or raiding your retirement savings. My approach not only aims to minimize your out-of-pocket expenses but also guides you on how to recover the full cost of college before you retire. This means investing in your child’s future without compromising your own financial security.
If you’re ready to turn your cost concerns into confidence and your dreams into achievable plans, let’s connect. Schedule a complimentary consultation with me today. Together, we’ll map out a path to your child’s college education that aligns with your family’s financial goals. Let me show you how we can make this work.
Let’s talk first to see if it makes sense to work together.
Before you can hire me, it’s important that we have a complimentary discovery call to ensure we’re the right fit for each other. As someone who only works with a select 60 families each school year, I want to make sure that our partnership will be successful and mutually beneficial. This call is your opportunity to see how I can help, and it’s my chance to determine if I’m the right guide for your family’s college journey.
Here’s what to expect during your complimentary consultation:
Remember, this call is as much about finding the right partnership as it is about providing you with immediate value. My goal is to work with families who I know I can truly help, and this discovery call is the first step in determining if that’s the case for you.
