US University Planning For Overseas Parents & Students: How to Apply and Pay for College

This is a recording of our webinar on 6 May 2021 with Gerry Chu of ApplyIvy, who explains the differences between US vs UK vs Canadian vs Australian universities and colleges as far as application deadlines, what is expected of students, and a case study on how an admissions consultant helps aspiring high school / secondary school students prepare essays and their "portfolio". In the second half, GFM Financial Planner Tariq Dennison explains why the cost of college tuition and textbooks has been rising so much faster than inflation, how to look at the "return on investment" of a university degree, and how to pay for it using a US tax-free 529 college savings plan.
