(CCFC) The High School to College Roadmap

100% of CCFC families win scholarships
(Nationally only 1 in 8 college students wins a scholarship.)

31% of CCFC families cover their entire cost of attendance with scholarships
(Nationally only 0.3% of college student.) cover their entire cost with scholarships

What is Cracking the Code to Free College?

Cracking the Code to Free College is a 7-module roadmap modeled after the strategy Denise used that won her two homeschooled teens 17 scholarships totaling more than $199,000. In Cracking the Code to Free College parents create their teen's high school experience that colleges will pay for!
 
College costs are high but college expenses don’t have to be. 600,000 college students graduate debt-free every year. What are they doing that the rest of us don’t know about? This course is the culmination of thousands of hours of research and takes you through the steps that put your teen in a position to achieve their goals without being saddled with monstrous student loan debt. 
Begin the course as early as middle school with strategies that build on your teen’s abilities, character, and values. Design your teen's high school experience, and build your teen’s brand to answer the question, “What are college admissions and scholarship committees looking for?” They’re looking for you! Don’t leave money on the table!
 
Who is this for?
- U.S. parents of college-bound middle through high school students who would like to keep their money and send their kids to college without the financial drain or debt.
- Families who believe they won’t “get anything” due to a high income and assets.
 
Who is this NOT for?
- Families looking for a miracle after their teen has committed to a college and they are hoping to find another $40k-$50k per year.  
- Families that are convinced their teen must attend Harvard or other colleges that don't offer merit scholarships.
 
OUTCOMES:
*Perfect GPA and test scores aren't enough for college acceptance today. Show colleges that your teen is exactly the student they're looking for!
*Keep your retirement and investments. Let scholarships pay for your teen to attend college. (Buy a house for your kid’s college graduation gift instead!)
*Anyone is eligible. Scholarships begin in kindergarten and go through professional school. Most private scholarships don't ask for GPA, test scores, or income.
*Never miss important dates: What to do when-This is Not your high school counselor's timeline!
*Build your teen's Personal Brand based on their values, character, and interests, for college and employment
*Find scholarships your teen has the best chance of winning.
*Navigate national databases while avoiding scholarship scams and email spam.
*Thinking outside the box: 50 ways to find additional money for college.
*Write the winning college and scholarship essay
*Market your teen to college admissions. Have colleges wanting your teen.
 
WHY NOW?
Starting early removes the stress and anxiety everyone else is going through. Lifetime access: Begin as early as middle school and take your time. 
A lot has changed since parents attended college and seems to change every year. How can parents keep up? The truth is, even high school counselors can't keep up. Creating your teen's high school experience so that colleges will offer large scholarships, begins much earlier than high school senior year. It begins NOW. Waiting until your teen has made mistakes based on what everyone else is doing, is a recipe for what everyone else is getting... College debt.
Start Cracking the Code to Free College NOW, and have your teen's college paid for on multiple scholarships.

Success is SWEEEEET!
$199,000 in scholarships!

Mark

"I contacted Denise on a referral from a friend. Since it was December of my son's senior year and he was already accepted to his college, I thought all I needed was help in finding scholarships to fill the gap. "So, can I just take the scholarship course?" Denise explained that finding scholarships is easy. Winning them takes strategy. I signed up for the full Cracking the Code to Free College course but she made me promise to NOT SKIP steps! 
All I can say is, she's a genius! "

Joy

"I had Denise's help searching for scholarships for my son...then in May 2020, I decided to go to the local community college! So far, I have earned scholarships from 3 different organizations and began working in the Admissions office as a Work/Study employee since the end of April. Thank you for all you do and have done to help me and my son. In addition to his scholarships, he is earning money through a part-time job on campus and managing all of his bills on his own. He won't even take free groceries from me...haha! : )  Thank you so much, ~ Joy

P.S. I have been stocking my scholarships in savings, just to have an emergency fund!"

Jenny

"My daughter started running out of funds during her second year of college and was not sure where to go or what to do to get scholarships or student loans. The amount of information out there is overwhelming especially for a young and busy college student. Thankfully, I had met Denise Thomas and set up an appointment for my daughter and I to meet with her over Zoom. Denise answered all our questions. My daughter took her advice and before we knew it, my daughter had money in her account for college. Thanks for your expertise, Denise!
Forever Grateful!"

Pilfering Your Retirement Investments for Your Kid's College Fund?

Probably not a good idea. The average public university cost of attendance is just over $100,000. While it may not seem like a big deal to withdraw $100,000 or so, the impact is a loss of more than $800,000 to your retirement.

"You can't eat a diploma!"~Denise Thomas

What would your young adult's life look like with ZERO student loan debt?

Time for hobbies and Interests.

Travel
"Adventure is worthwhile."
                                 ~Aesop

Time with family.
"Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend." ~Theophrastus

Freedom to live the life they were meant to live.

Give your child the gift of TIME, TRAVEL, FAMILY, and FREEDOM!

Can I DO THIS?

Yes! I often hear parents repeating the myths that have kept our young adults in student loan debt for decades... Myths such as

"We Make Too Much Money. My kid won't get anything."

Not true! The majority of academic or merit scholarships are usually not tied to family income. (We were making 6-figures when my teens won all that moolah!) But the earlier you begin, the more opportunities there are. There are scholarship deadlines every month and they begin in kindergarten! Get Started Now!

"Only geniuses win scholarships."

Actually, the majority of scholarships don't ask for GPA or test scores. Answering a simple essay question is often all it takes.
