INSTRUCTOR
The Founder and Math-Mind behind
the College Aid 2.0 Method
Hi, I’m Mike Escobar.
I’m a Wealth Advisor, Fiduciary Financial Advisor (IAR), Certified College Funding Specialist (CCFS), Education Loan Analyst (ELA), a former High School Math Teacher & Coach, and CEO of Yorkshire College Planning.
With over a decade of experience in financial planning and education, I’ve learned the ins and outs of college tuition financing and have developed the College Aid 2.0 methodology to help high-income families navigate the complex world of college funding.
As a father of four and a fiduciary financial advisor (this means I have a legal obligation to give conflict-free advice), I understand the stakes – your income shouldn’t mean excessive college costs or compromised retirement savings. I’ve helped thousands of families save tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, and I’m committed to helping you make college affordable without sacrificing your financial future.
We’ve helped thousands of families save and succeed

Dave Rossi (father of 2)

We’re proud of all our families who have used our methods to save a collective $120 million on college.
Frequently Asked Questions
"Does this include help for high school Juniors only?"
This workshop is vital for students all the way from Grade 8 – 12, as well as students in their freshman year of college.
Many parents think it’s too late by freshman year of college, but there are still many cost savings to be had even if your student is already attending college, or is a senior in high school.
The rule of thumb is this: the younger your student is, the more financial aid you can get for them. Many students, with proper financial planning, can go to college for nothing – a free ride.
"How can my Expected Family Contribution (EFC/SAI) even be lowered? Isn’t it just your tax information?"
It’s a common myth that you’re “stuck with the EFC/SAI that you get”—this is simply not true.
How your income, child’s income, assets, and real estate are declared has more flexibility than most people know, and you will learn many of the foundational strategies that tens of thousands of American families use every year to avoid getting an artificially inflated EFC/SAI.
"Does this work for CSS Profile schools?"
I will also cover strategies for CSS profile schools. If you’re not sure what a CSS Profile school is, this webinar will explain all the basics in simple layman’s terms.
"My family makes too much income to qualify for any financial aid - should I even attend?"
This is the most common thing I hear from the thousands of parents I talk to every year. We have families making over $1m in Annual General Revenue who have saved tens of thousands of dollars on college.
"I’m divorced/separated/remarried, and my situation is too complex for you to help."
40% of the families we help are in a similar situation as you and improve their circumstances dramatically.
Our Practice FAFSA Tool will be especially useful for you since your FAFSA EFC/SAI will be much different than your CSS PROFILE EFC/SAI.
Some parents only need to report 1 income. Other parents may need to report up to 4 incomes (both parents from both families) depending on your household structure.
"Is it ok if I’m new to the financial aid conversation?"
Yes, absolutely! We break it down step-by-step in the live event. This workshop comprehensively takes you from A to Z. At the same time, we’ve had families who are very experienced in the college funding process tell us they discovered gold nuggets in the webinar that have saved them thousands.
"Are you going to try and sell me life insurance?"
Absolutely not.
Run, don’t walk, from anyone who advises you that life insurance is an important component of college financial aid.
"What are you trying to sell me?"
My business model is simple: I run this free webinar that is jam-packed with useful information every parent needs to know about college financial aid, including some advanced strategies many paid programs don’t even cover.
The Bootcamp is not for everyone.
