Take the Path to a Debt-Free Degree

You may feel like you’re going in circles trying to figure out how to afford college, ideally without your child taking on loads of student debt or you pulling from retirement, home equity or whatever other desperate act to find the money. Yet you still can't see any light at the end of the tunnel.

You don’t want money to hold your teen back. You want them to be able to go to a good college, maybe even their “dream college”, but you also feel like it’s your responsibility to keep your teen from making a major financial mistake. You’ve got the feeling that if you just knew the RIGHT steps, you’d be golden - but with all the advice out there… you don’t know which way is up.

I’d LOVE to help you get things straightened out, so you can help your student pursue their dream career, without being buried in student loans or money being tight for the family.

Our private membership is currently open for enrollment only for a few days and as you’ve landed here, my guess is that you want to find out more :) so all the information you need is below.

We’re just beginning with this journey but have helped thousands secure scholarships for college, helping them in their path to a debt-free degree. Now, we want to cover ALL the strategies, from A to Z, and I’d love to help you too.

I am confident you will find the tools, tricks and tips required to make your ‘paying-for-college process’ as smooth as possible. Remember, the path to a debt-free degree is a journey. And we will help guide you along that journey. No more struggling trying to figure it all out by yourself, come and join us and let’s make this process as simple and stress-free as possible.

DFD Lab is a monthly membership to help you navigate the process of paying for college as easily, quickly and stress-free as possible.

We are pooling knowledge from top college funding experts around the country and combining it with the community and support your family needs.

Think of it as your one-stop shop for streamlined trainings and support to help your family’s dream of debt-free college into reality (for a fraction of the cost).

It’s a place to keep you focused on the best strategies for your family (without needing to scour the whole internet for the next right step or spend thousands on multiple different consults).

No more going in circles - we’re going to help you get complete clarity around what you need to do in order to reduce the cost of college and minimize the amount of student debt (or savings) you need. We’ll start with getting clear on:

What opportunities your student has for a debt-free degree
How to maximize financial aid and get the lowest price possible from the university your student chooses
How to fill the gap between financial aid and a debt-free degree
How to implement strategies year-after-year to avoid student loan debt entirely

FOR THOSE WHO JOIN TONIGHT ONLY - We're holding a Masterclass and Hot Seat. I'm going to give you the 5 most important aspects of a scholarship-winning essay and application.

AND we're going to CHOOSE STUDENTS to
submit their materials ahead of time and get detailed, personalized feedback.

It's going to be:

Actionable - providing implementable advice (not just theory).
Prioritized - giving you the most important changes to get the biggest results.
Personalized - giving your family an opportunity to get individual feedback.

DFD Lab families are the most driven, dedicated families when it comes to minimizing student debt, or out-of-pocket costs, when it comes to paying for college. They want the best for their student but are also willing to desert the beaten path in order to find a better way for paying for college.

They’re active participants with positive attitudes. They aren’t excuse makers and they don’t threaten to give up when the process gets tough, they give constructive feedback, and understand the importance of graduating from college debt-free.

Sound like you and your family? Then you belong here.

This applies to these families who:

Have students in high school (any grade) or college (up to senior year).
Have low income OR moderate income level to where you won’t receive financial aid to cover the bill.
Are stuck in the middle of the income levels - where you can’t cut a check to pay for college, but you also aren’t awarded any aid.
Have students with all sorts of test scores or GPAs - your student does not need a perfect GPA or high SAT score to benefit from DFD Lab.
Don’t want to pay thousands of dollars for a college consultant, yet want access to helpful information for the college process.
Want their children to have the opportunity to pursue their dreams after college, versus be buried in student loan debt.

Freshmen — Many students are only focused on getting situated in high school for this first year. That is okay! If your family wants to join DFD Lab, we suggest utilizing lessons created around building competitiveness, involvements, time management skills, athletic scholarships (if that's their thing) and more that we have accessible in the DFD Lab Library.

Sophomores — While sophomore year is also still early, some strategies have to be implemented by fall semester of junior year which means we need to learn them prior to that. This is mainly around tax and FAFSA strategies. Students can also focus on the lessons mentioned for freshmen, including involvement, leadership activities, getting competitive, athletic scholarships, test prep, and more.

Juniors — Here we go! Nearly every single strategy inside Debt-Free Degree Lab is applicable now! We highly recommend families joining by junior year in high school to maximize the strategies in all categories and topics. If you wait until senior year, you may feel stressed by how many opportunities you have! The earlier, the better. There will be FAFSA and tax strategies to increase financial aid offers, college search tips, writing essays, test taking, time management, the list goes on! But don't worry - as long as you're a member, you can revisit each lesson as many times as you need!

Seniors — Senior year - where many families focus on admissions and then realize LAST MINUTE that they need to figure out the bill! It's never too late to strategize and implement strategies (Read college students below!) but we want to kick it into high gear if your student is in their senior year! Finding the right financial fit, maximizing financial aid with FAFSA strategies, negotiating and appealing with colleges, writing essays, and so much more! Every lesson except transferring credits applies now!

College Students — Did you know it is NOT too late to change what you're paying for college even after your student is already there? It's true! In fact, nearly all strategies are applicable to families with college students with the exception of choosing a college (unless they want to transfer - we have a lesson on that, too!) Making Money in College, Saving Money in College, Negotiating and Appealing, Payment Plans, Credit Card Hacking, Tax Strategies, FAFSA Strategies, and so much more all apply to your family!

1) THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER OPTIONS OUT THERE -- IN FACT, I HAVE 5 OTHER COURSES SITTING ON MY COMPUTER, WAITING FOR ME. WHAT MAKES THE DFD LAB DIFFERENT?

First, the DFD Lab is NOT “another course” or even “another membership group.” It’s so much more… and LESS. Yes, less. We know you’re already overwhelmed with ideas, content, courses, and information. That’s why we will help you start with the end in mind and figure out what you need to do TOMORROW to get you where you need to be with the paying-for-college process.
Then we give you the specific steps to get there… and make sure you get it. Your family is never left alone to figure it out on your own.
Focus. Accountability. Guidance. Support. And a whole bunch of laughter to go along with it.

2) HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BE A MEMBER?

$49 per month but this price will absolutely increase next time we open the doors. Anyone who gets in at this all-time low rate will be grandfathered in for life.

3) CAN I PAY ANNUALLY?

Sure! You save $91 (which is nearly 2 months free) when you pay annually!

4) CAN I CANCEL AT ANY TIME?

Yes, but we hope you won't! You can cancel really easily by contacting us at [email protected].

5) CAN I GET A REFUND?

We stand behind our promises. That means, once you join us, you have 30 days to claim a refund if you feel like the DFD Lab isn’t for you or has offered you no value. Just contact us at [email protected] and we will process it immediately, no questions asked.

6) OUR FAMILY IS JUST STARTING THE COLLEGE PROCESS… DOES MY STUDENT HAVE TO BE A SENIOR OR HAVE CHOSEN THEIR COLLEGE TO DO THIS?

No, not at all. In fact, we actually can help those who have yet to choose a college even more! So the younger, the better! We welcome passionate, dedicated newcomers.

7) OUR STUDENT HAS ALREADY CHOSEN THEIR COLLEGE. IS THIS JUST FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN’T STARTED THE PROCESS YET?

Nope! If you’ve already chosen a school, there is still tons of opportunity to cut cost the cost of that school and find debt-free money to cover the bill. Remember: it is an ongoing process to graduate debt-free.

You’re also familiar with what I call the “college process roller coaster.” Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, a new set of problems arise to test your patience, determination, and commitment! When tackling the college process, we are always encountering the unknown. And wherever you are in that journey, the DFD Lab is here to help you out.

8) OUR STUDENT IS ALREADY IN COLLEGE. IS THIS JUST FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN’T STARTED COLLEGE YET?

The biggest opportunity is for families with students who have yet to begin college. Still, college students certainly have the opportunity to cut costs and secure debt-free money while already in college. We already have lessons that will apply to your situation so yes!

9) WHY DO YOU LIMIT ENROLLMENT PERIODS?

We are absolutely dedicated to making sure each and every one of our members receives the royal treatment when they join. We limit enrollment to a few times a year so we can create an experience where new members are warmly received, supported, and guided to all that the DFD Lab has to offer.

By holding dedicated enrollment periods, we can dedicate time and resources to welcoming each new “class” of members.

10) WE LIVE IN THE SOUTH/THE NORTHEAST/WEST COAST… MY STUDENT ISN’T A STRAIGHT-A-STUDENT/ATHLETE/LOW INCOME… MY STUDENT DOESN’T KNOW WHAT THEY WANT TO MAJOR IN... WILL THIS HELP US?

YES. These are common myths when it comes to paying for college (don’t worry - we will bust those once you join us!). It doesn’t matter if your student has a less-than-perfect GPA/ACT/SAT score, doesn’t know what they want to do with their life or if your family has a decent income level, we can help you!
