Amazon bestselling author and financial strategist Nekole Shelton has launched her latest book, Hidden College Funds: A Guide to Undisclosed College Money, offering practical strategies to help families reduce college costs and avoid debt. The book serves as a resource for parents looking to uncover lesser-known funding opportunities and make informed financial decisions about higher education.
Shelton, who successfully guided her two children through college debt-free, draws on her experience to provide a detailed roadmap for families. “Parents often feel overwhelmed by the financial challenges of paying for college,” Shelton said. “This book empowers families by revealing untapped resources and proven strategies to make college affordable without the need for debt.”
The guide covers essential topics such as dual enrollment programs, residency tips to qualify for in-state tuition, and overlooked financial aid and college funding opportunities. Shelton also shares insights on negotiating financial aid packages, securing grants, and identifying scholarships. Parents and students have praised the book for its clear guidance and practical advice. One parent, Funmilayo, called it “a goldmine for families navigating college costs.”
Building on the book's success, Shelton has introduced a self-paced e-course designed to guide families step-by-step through the complexities of college financial planning. The course includes resources like templates for negotiating financial aid, FAFSA tips, and checklists for organizing key tasks.
“The e-course simplifies complex financial decisions for families,” Shelton explained. “It’s designed to help parents confidently plan for their children’s education while maximizing savings and opportunities for financial aid.”
Parents who have taken the course reported significant benefits, including better organization and cost savings. Resources such as real-world templates and examples help demystify the financial aid process, ensuring even first-time college parents feel equipped to navigate the system.
For families seeking personalized support, Shelton offers one-on-one consultations. These sessions address specific challenges, such as interpreting financial aid award letters or developing customized savings plans. “Many families don’t realize they can negotiate their financial aid packages or access lesser-known funding sources,” Shelton said. “My goal is to help them uncover opportunities to significantly lower their out-of-pocket costs.”
Clients who have worked with Shelton on tailored strategies have seen measurable results. One recent client, Yagiz, shared, “The personalized advice we received helped us save money without relying on loans. Nekole’s expertise was invaluable in navigating the financial complexities of college funding.”
In addition to her book and consultations, Shelton offers free tools through the Hidden College Funds website, including a downloadable college checklist and an introductory e-book. These resources are designed to give families the foundational knowledge needed to approach college financial planning with confidence.
The book and accompanying resources reflect Shelton’s commitment to closing the knowledge gap around college funding. “This guide is designed to simplify the process and give parents the confidence to plan for their children’s education without financial stress,” Shelton said.
