Determining the most cost-effective, tax-efficient way to fund a college education is not always easy. Many parents would prefer not to think about it at all, hoping that things will somehow work out. Due to the “cross-your-fingers” approach, many families face limited choices for college. In order for families to best prepare for this future event, it is important to understand college pricing, the admissions process, financial-aid and how to best navigate the entire complex college-funding system. The Heartland Institute employs a variety of strategies to help position families and students to receive optimal placement and funding.


Cinardi has been a financial professional since 1998 and holds several leadership positions and
