WHY IS THERE SUCH A NEED FOR COLLEGE PLANNING GUIDANCE AND HELP: We work with the 97% of the families that were well-intentioned and meant to save for college…but didn’t save at all (usually because life got in the way), or they didn’t save near enough. Now they are facing tuition bills of $20,000-$59,420 a year…..multiplied by the number of kids they have and the number of years each kid is going to go to college for.

So, on the low side, these families are having to come up with or borrow a low number of $80,000…….if the student goes to a state school and manages to graduate in 4 years. That same family would have to come up with or borrow $237,680 over four years if their student wanted to go to Sarah Lawrence College in New York, which is ranked by Forbes as the most expensive college in America. (Harvard isn’t far behind at $56,000 per year and that’s the range than many private schools fall into.)

So, if a family borrowed the entire amount for a student to go to Sarah Lawrence College, they would pay back a total of $358,322.09, because their interest and fees would amount to $120,642.09. At the peak of the loan (because the payments stack up each year as that year’s money is borrowed), this family would have a monthly payment of $2,986.02 for six years before the payments begin to come back down.)
So much for the government ‘helping’ make college affordable!

And those payments were for a family that only had one child! You can imagine how much more stressful this gets for families that have 2 or more children, especially if they are close in age and overlap in college. Ducerus can help!

The business is a simple concept that plays to a way underserved marketplace. Every family across America needs help in choosing a college for their children and figuring out how to pay for college. In most cases, the college situation is the biggest decision a family will make.
