College Financial Aid Guru Sponsors Emergency Workshop for Parents of High School Juniors

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) May 24, 2011 -- (Plainview, New York)

Long Island resident Andrew Lockwood, an attorney-turned-"late stage" college financial aid consultant, has strikingly bad news for parents of college-bound high school juniors.

"2011 was an absolute bloodbath when it came to college admissions rates. Top schools who previously admitted 10% were down to 6% in many cases," said Lockwood. "Other, not as selective colleges experienced a 'trickle-down' effect and reported sharp declines as well," said Lockwood.

At the same time, college costs continue to sky-rocket. "The cost of attending college spikes up in good economies AND bad economies - why is that?" said Lockwood. "Parents need to know in order to attempt to level the playing field between them and the overpriced, rip-off colleges," Lockwood said.

To help parents demystify the college admissions and college financial aid process, Lockwood his hosting a limited-time free online workshop for parents of college-bound teens: Juniors about to enter their Senior year of high school, and Sophomores about to become Juniors.

The workshop will be available - at no charge - for 10 days.

Concerned parents may register while space is still available at:

Andrew Lockwood specializes in helping Long Island's "Forgotten Middle Class" cope with runaway college costs by taking advantages of "loopholes" that lay hidden in the financial aid rules - even for parents who think they will not qualify for grants or scholarships. Andy wrote the book, "How to Pay Wholesale for College" and conducts free lectures on college finance periodically throughout Long Island, New York. For more information, visit: www.AndyLockwood.com
