The members of our Paying For College 101 Facebook group gave it a thumbs up! It’s perfect for the college student living in the dorm (ask your school if using it is allowed) or off-campus. And with a name like “Ninja,” how could you go wrong?

March 10th - 8:30pm EST We're introducing a new and easy to use tool to help families evaluate their financial aid awards to make sure you are comparing apples to apples.
March 12th - 8:30pm EST To help college students who may feel a little lost figuring out the internship and future career thing, we're hosing a Facebook Live to give tips on resumes, interviews, and searching for internships. Great skills to have no matter what year your student is.
March 14th - 8:30pm Jay London, The College Advice Guy, and a member of our Road2College Pros Network, will be hosting a webinar on top reasons you should appeal your financial aid award. If you are at all unsure about what you’ve been offered and how you might be able to negotiate for more, you won’t want to miss this.
