This program is not yet fully developed and is available on a limited basis to active volunteers.
Is this an area you can support us to develop?
As part of its College Bound program Chimorel has developed many strategies to support you or someone you care about to pay the cost of going to college. We give you a brief illustration of some of these strategies in the simulation below. Scattered throughout this website are many stories and examples of how we can support you to pay for college.
For $350 paid in advance or $425 paid in installments, you will receive an Action Planner Membership, an application for a $2000 scholarship, and a variety of college and financial planning assistance. Your fee is earned after 5 hours of Group or 2 hours of Individual coaching.
As a Member your Recommendation Privilege can cover the application fee, but will not provide other planning services. Once this program is fully operational approximately one in twenty-five applicants will receive a $2000 scholarship. If you do not get a scholarship, we will work with you through other programs until you develop the equivalent of $2000 or more for college.
Paid in Installments
Can I pay in installments? Yes, the fee for installment payments is $425. You would pay $50 in eight monthly payments with a $25 down payment. You could make a payment each month as you and your Planner got together, assuming an eighth month planning process.
You could also make ten weekly payments of $40 with a $25 down payment, assuming a ten week planning process.
When your payments were complete, you would be eligible to enter the Scholarship program, although after eight months or ten weeks, you might have your funding well on the way, if you were serious and followed through with the assignments your Planner gives you.
If you can’t afford $50/mo or $40/wk, we suggest you enter Chimorel’s I Got a Job program and include going to college as one of the elements of your program. You will most likely establish a Special Project and could pay your fee as part of the Special Project.
Fee Is Earned
We are always willing to help you complete setting your goal(s) and develop your action plan(s). It is possible that you could stop before this is done. Refunds are not available after you initiate your program. We genuinely want you to finish what you start. When you start your program you agree that our fee has been fully earned after:
5 hours of group counseling or
2 hours of individual counseling.
If you stop, the fee is earned, but we won’t stop until you have developed a realistic plan to pay the college education for your beneficiary. And if you and your beneficiary are serious, you’ll have a minimum of $2000 in grants or scholarships sent to the college your beneficiary will attend.
The important thing is DON’T QUIT. We want you set goals, develop solid action plans and go on to achieve your goals, but we won’t force you to finish. If you quit, you don’t get all that you could get. If you finish, you will get what you pay for and more.
College Bound Simulation
Marcia logged on to this website one day and discovered the College Bound Program. She paid the application fee, applied to our College Bound Program, and named her son as the beneficiary of a possible $2000 Chimorel Scholarship.
Her son did not receive the scholarship (only one of 25 applicants will), but the additional services received paid the entire cost of her son’s $132,000 education. Here’s what could happen:
First: We helped the son determine a specific career choice. Then we helped him get a job to pay $7000/yr of the cost. Second: The job paid $3000/yr of his tuition and fees. Third: We helped him apply for approximately 200 scholarships, grants and loans. The loans amounted to $8500/yr. The son received three scholarships worth about $7500/yr. Fourth: Through Chimorel’s Guaranteed Scholarship Program, Marcia and her son received an additional $8000 each year for four years.
A total of $132,000 was developed to pay all his college expenses. $74,500 came from scholarships and tuition payments by his work. Marcia helped with some books and the initial fees. The remainder of the son’s college expenses were covered by loans and her son’s work.
The work experience helped the son find summer intern experiences at higher pay in his career area. On graduation the son started at a higher level because of the infield experience, which made repaying the loans easier.
