We’re excited to invite you to an upcoming educational presentation hosted by Compass Advisors and FutureU, featuring Sarah Bowen, LISW, and Kathy LePage, PhD. 

This presentation focuses on proactive planning and college affordability, helping families understand how earlier, intentional planning can reduce stress, improve student outcomes, and create more financial options when it comes time to make college decisions.

College planning is one of the biggest emotional and financial decisions families face, and too often it happens late in the process, under pressure, and without a clear strategy. This session is designed to help families feel better prepared and more confident as they navigate what’s ahead.

During this presentation, you’ll learn about:

• Why starting the college planning process earlier makes a meaningful difference
• Common misconceptions around college costs and financial aid
• How fit, readiness, and affordability work together
• Understanding sticker price versus true net cost
• The role of FAFSA, CSS Profile, and merit-based aid
• How to build a balanced college list that supports both student goals and family finances
