Aaron Greene, Founder of College Liftoff
Highlights of presentation:
- College Liftoff wants to ensure parents and prospective college students think of college expense as an investment.This thinking is akin to how one thinks of a home purchase or retirement savings
- College tuition has increased 1,200% since 1980
- Today there are 4,200 colleges & Universities in the USA, so students have a huge choice and frequently make a mistake when considering colleges only by superficial criteria such as what the weather is like at the college, who do I know at this college and where is my girlfriend / boyfriend going to college
- There may be a better way to select colleges
- One way to improve college selection, according to College Liftoff is to better match a student’s career aspirations with colleges.Then match the student with the best return on college investment
- College Liftoff’s process to align students with best colleges often reduces college expenses
- College Liftoff’s marketing material claims to have saved in aggregate, upwards of $46 million for the 800 students who completed their pre-college program over the last 10 years
