Gillian Stubblefield, M.A. – Author | Financial Aid Advocate

 
 

As a first-generation college graduate, my journey to higher education wasn’t easy. I moved to the U.S. a few years before starting college and had to figure out financial aid on my own. My parents, although hardworking, didn’t have any experience with college. 

Now, after more than a decade of helping students and families with college admissions and financial aid, my goal is simple: to help families send their kids to college without piling on debt. I believe every family deserves access to clear, affordable college options. With a College Counseling Certificate from UCLA and years of experience, I’ve guided many families to colleges where their students can succeed without breaking the bank.

I also wrote the award-winning book The Secrets to Saving Big on College, sharing practical tips for getting the most financial aid and lowering college costs. Through my blog, newsletters, and workshops, I give families the tools they need to make college more affordable.

I’m committed to helping families understand the financial aid process and find ways to send their kids to college debt-free.

It's here! A Book to Help You Pay Less for College!

The book divulges the secret strategies that could cut your bill in half or more.
