Rosemont, IL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/08/2009 -- One of the top college planning specialists in the country says "the 'student lending crisis' will cause tens of thousands of college-bound students to scramble for college funding and could prevent an unknown number of college students from completing their studies.

Chrobak, CCPS is as outraged as any parent; however, he is determined to help as many families as possible weather the storm.

So many good students won’t be able to go and countless students will have to drop out, unless they know the tuition reduction secrets that the universities don’t want given out,” says Chrobak, CCPS, a leading expert on planning for college. “It’s not even a matter of getting the best interest rate.it’s getting ANY money for school at all these days. Parents need to know that college can still be affordable, if they learn the inside secrets to getting as much free money as possible so they don’t go broke or sacrifice their retirement savings.”

According to Chrobak, CCPS, more than 50% of all eligible parents don’t even bother applying for financial aid, mostly because they think they make too much money to qualify. {Site:Last Name} regularly teaches parents legal ways to double or triple eligibility for free grant money, even if they make a “six figure” income; how to determine if a school will be affordable, regardless of its sticker price; and how to make sure that their family can afford to send their child to college, even if their neighbors can’t.
