"For many students and parents, this is the time of year when they work hard on figuring out how to pay for college. Families have seen their savings and home equity diminish because of the financial meltdown and credit crisis," said Kevin Walker, Co-founder and CEO of SimpleTuition. "The more scholarships, grants and other funding students can accumulate now, the less need there is to borrow money to be paid back after graduation."
