How Did These College Students Lower Their Debt? This School Gave Them a Financial Planner.

When Zachary Antle enrolled at Grand View University (IA) in 2012, his combination of academic and football scholarships covered much of his tuition, room and board. When Kendall Antle followed his brother to Grand View three years later, he had academic scholarships, but they covered less of his overall costs than his brother’s scholarships did.  Zachary graduated in 2015 debt-free. Kendall wanted to do the same, but he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to manage it. Kendall had access to a secret weapon his brother didn’t have, though — the equivalent of a financial planner provided to him by Grand View, known at the university as a GV Completion coach.
