West Caldwell, NJ, April 30, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Are you a parent, grandparent, or expectant family? If so, now is the time to start planning and saving for your child’s college career.

The facts are staggering: Tuition costs are rising faster than financial aid availability; student debt has increased 108% in just 10 years, and 6% from just one year ago; the average student debt upon graduation is over $20,000. Given today’s uncertain economy, how are parents going to be able to allow their child to make a college decision based upon the best school, versus the best priced school?
