  3. How Much Do You Need To Save for College Fund? • Can you set aside $200 bucks per month for your newborn bundle of joy? $200 a month is a sensible savings target for many families serious about building up a college fund. • All it takes is $200? • Not for ALL the college costs in the future. Let's look at the economic situation for most students at four-year colleges and institutions. www.BeamaLife.com | 1-866-972-3262

  4. How Much Do You Need To Save for College Fund? • The published price for tuition, fees, room and board at the average 4-year private college for the 2008-09 school year is likely to be somewhere around $34,200. • If costs continue to rise 6% annually, the four-year sticker price for today's newborn will be about $427,000. www.BeamaLife.com | 1-866-972-3262

  5.

The savings gap (more like a massive canyon!) is still large: $333,000. Don’t panic! www.BeamaLife.com | 1-866-972-3262

  6.

The difference comes from institutional grants and federal grants and tax benefits.Your $200 a month now covers 30% of the cost rather than 22%. www.BeamaLife.com | 1-866-972-3262
