It is increasingly important for parents to consider the huge financial implication of educating their children. School and university fees continue to soar and the introduction of university top-up fees in September 2006 will cause a further strain to purse strings. To help parents make the necessary preparations, IFA Promotion, the organisation promoting the benefits of local independent financial advice, has produced a free factsheet outlining the financial choices open to parents looking to fund education.
David Elms, Chief Executive of IFA Promotion, commented; It can cost over 100,000* to fund a child through private education, therefore it is vital for parents to address the issue at an early stage. Those concerned about funding their childrens education can visit an IFA who will help to assess every available option and allow them to make informed decisions.
The factsheet covers:
- Typical costs for putting your child through school and university
- How to streamline your finances so you can save more
- Different savings options for the short, mid and long term
- Ways to access funds if you have left it too late to start saving
For a free copy of the factsheet, together with details of local independent financial advisers who can talk through your options in detail, call the IFA Promotion consumer hotline on 0800 085 3250 or visit www.unbiased.co.uk
