Ivana Cummins

Ivana is the founder of Auxilium College Advisors and a college-funding strategist who believes that paying for college is a family financial decision—not just an admissions milestone.

A UC Santa Barbara graduate, she remembers firsthand how confusing financial aid can be. She draws on approximately 15 years in business operations and financial systems, as well as training in mediation, to help families navigate the details and the difficult conversations.

The $90,000 Question brings that experience together in a straightforward guide to understanding financial aid and avoiding costly mistakes.
