Colleges Use It Against You.
Most families think college pricing is based on income alone.
It’s not.
Colleges use a pricing system to decide who pays more, who gets help, and who gets pushed into the Funding Gap.
I call that system CollegeBound Economics™.
Most families think college pricing is about income.
It's not!
Colleges look at far more than income when they decide what your family will pay.
That’s why two families who look similar on paper can get very different results.
And that’s how families get pushed into the Funding Gap.

Are You in the "College Funding Gap?"
Too “rich” for aid. Not rich enough to write $80K checks.
-
Many families earning $100K–$400K get squeezed here
-
You make too much for most need-based aid
-
Paying $30K–$90K/year can wreck retirement
Here’s the fix — watch this quick video:
