Every college in the country has their own unique way of offering their financial need-based or merit-based free scholarship money. Unfortunately, these formulas are not publicly available because colleges want to exercise discretion in their decisions and not create public debate on their free scholarship decisions.

CPS guides families with knowledge, skill and competency to deal with the ever-changing events.
We guarantee that we will be able to save you a minimum of $30,000 per year. Money back guaranteed.

Be proactive to save money!

Financial Aid

Based on 30+ years of professional experience, CPS knows the colleges that offer the maximum amount of free scholarship money that families are eligible for. These monies do not have to be repaid.

Admissions

We offer parents support as they work with the High School Guidance Counselor, by providing them a one page college summary listing financial aid policies, acceptance rates, etc.  We strongly recommend 90% of High School students take a career assessment evaluation.

College Loans

Our goal is to minimize college loans by increasing their grant money.  If loans are needed, we will guide families to the loan that best fits their needs.  Federal student loans are limited to $27,000 over 4 years of undergraduate studies.
