$200K/Year Potential as a College Tuition Negotiator

US colleges are scrambling.

High school grad numbers peaked in 2025, the demographic cliff is pushing smaller schools toward closure, and private colleges now discount tuition by 56.3% on average to fill seats – a record high 🤯

But most parents don’t know they can negotiate further. Michael Girdley recently pitched a fix – be the consultant who does it for them 👇

  • $2,000 refundable deposit to filter serious clients
  • 10-15% commission on whatever you save them
  • On a $30K saving = $3-4.5K per family
  • 20 clients/year, nights and weekends = $200K per Girdley 💪

Demand is real. A parent recently asked on Reddit

I’m looking for a company or a consultant who for a fee can negotiate college tuition and scholarship on my behalf. Is there a service out there?

Zero replies.

No startup costs. Learn the appeal process, then park a wrapped truck outside a wealthy high school and offer free consults 😎
