Getting into college today is more complex than ever, and the cost leaves many graduates burdened with massive debt that delays buying homes or starting families. Student loan debt has tripled in 15 years, soaring past $1.7 trillion, with women carrying nearly two-thirds of it. It doesn’t have to be this way. Dr. Pamela Ellis, known as The Education Doctor, is an award-winning educator and best-selling author of What to Know Before They Go. Through her College Confidence Blueprint, she helps families avoid overpaying and positions teens for success. Over the past five years, 95% of her students have been admitted to their top-choice colleges with an average of $75,000 in scholarships. Her mission: to guide parents and students through the maze of college prep and paying for higher education the smart way. Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro tap into her insight in this episode of Women Road Warriors.https://theeducationdoctor.com/www.Compasscollegeadvisory.comhttps://womenroadwarriors.com/ https://womenspowernetwork.net#scholarships #education #college #PreparingForCollege #CollegeDebt, #TheEducationDoctor #DrPamelaEllis, #ShelleyMJohnson #ShelleyJohnson #KathyTuccaro #WomenRoadWarriors student loan debt, college preparation, scholarships for women, expert interviews, college admissions process, education financing, women in non-traditional careers, education doctor, high school to college transition, financial aid, college tuition costs, mentoring for students, self-advocacy skills, vocational training, women in leadership, college success strategies, parenting and education, navigating college costs
