Although private sector scholarships are promoted as the way to pay for college and are somewhat viable, the real money sources are the colleges themselves.
Colleges fundamentally have two prices – their total cost of attendance and what each family actually pays. You could call one the list price and the second the wholesale price; or, as we refer to it – the college’s True Cost.
Finding the True Cost is essential – before the private sector scholarships, loans, or any other type of funding is in place, you must know the college’s True Cost. Without this number you are almost guaranteed to pay too much and needlessly exhaust your resources – savings, home equity, retirement accounts and annual contributions, etc., not to mention the incredible amounts of needless student and parent loan debt.
Every student will essentially pay a different price for the same education. Colleges start with their cost of attendance and discount that number differently for each student. Colleges use clever names like Presidential Scholarship, Dean’s Award, Academic Scholarship, College Scholarship Award, Faculty Scholarship, etc. to portray these discounts and arrive at each student’s balance / cost.
For the colleges, this balance / cost is usually their asking or starting price – not the True Cost. This asking price is almost always over-inflated with the college basically asking the student and family to pay too much. This is kind of like, unfortunately, buying a car. The schools’ marketing effectiveness of awarding a student an institutional scholarship is not only genius, but also an incredible ploy that ultimately results in families paying far, far too much for higher education.
This is not to say that the student is not deserving of the award (discount). Actually, quite the opposite – the big questions are: Does the student actually deserve more of an award? Does the student actually deserve more of a discount? And, does the family actually deserve to pay less?
