Bank Plan aids parents with college costs
The Citizens Bank in
Dallas. Georgia and Students'
Financial Services of Atlanta
have gotten together to offer
an innovative, low-cost plan to
help parents meet the soaring
cost of a college education.
"Four factors prompted
me to develop the Tuition
Reserve and Deposit Plan,”
said George Naterman, owner
of Students’ Financial
Services.
“Skyrocketing tuitions,
out-of-this-world interest
rales, drastic reductions in
federal student aid, and the
overall lack of stability in
federal aid programs (they
turn cartwheels every year)
mean that parents must have
access to a reliable source of
college financing."
John Bloomfield, Vice
President of the Citizens Bank
said, “Parents can deposit as
much as they want into a
special Tuition Reserve and
Deposit Savings Account and
the bank will loan them up to
times the amount they
save, at a ‘net-cost’ of less
than 1 percent a year.’’
“The low-cost is not the
only advantage of the ‘plan’,"
said Naterman. “It actually
counters each of the
unfavorable trends I cited
earlier."
The plan provides
stability in planning which
parents can not get from
topsy-turvy federal programs.
It enables parents to keep
their financial assets intact;
nothing has to be liquidated.
And it assures parents they
will have the money they need
for their children’s education,
when they need it.
Bloomfield and Naterman
both cautioned — “The rules
pertaining to college financing
have changed and future
trends are unfavorable.
