American College Funding
"Helping parents who are concerned about the high cost of college."
Mission Statement

There are two VERY different prices for college - one for the informed "buyer" and one for the uninformed "buyer." Our mission is to help every parent become an "informed buyer." We integrate sound financial planning strategies with the financial aid rules and regulations, and then implement programs that help families reduce their out-of-pocket costs for college. College funding is a retirement issue. We help you save on college and show you how to "safely" put that savings away for your retirement.

Dan M. Maga, CCPS (Certified College Planning Specialist), has been teaching parents how to establish college funding plans that are easy to fund, and allow children of any means to attend the college of their choice. Dan is President of American College Funding and specializes in strategic tax and cash flow planning to help solve the college funding issues without raiding your retirement plans to pay for college.

Dan recently finished his first book on the college-funding problem entitled, "How to give your child a 4-year College Education without going broke." This book includes many invaluable tips on how to navigate the financial aid system, enabling a parent to pay for college without spending their life's savings.

Dan also works with a considerable number of affluent parents and business owners who don't feel they qualify for any type of financial aid. "The challenge is to overcome the myth that higher-income families believe there is nothing proactive they can do to reduce their college costs." Dan helps dispel these myths and shows this type of parent how to save thousands of dollars on their children's college educations.

Dan Maga II has been helping parents on the North Shore of Chicago pay for their children’s college educations in the most tax-efficient manner since the spring of 2004. He believes that every parent, if guided properly, can save some money on their kids’ college educations. Dan graduated with a Consumer Economics degree from the University of Illinois in 2003. He currently lives with his wife, Linnea, in the West Loop part of Chicago.
