Our Services

Our Services

As a trusted advisor, I’m dedicated to helping families navigate the college process with confidence and ease. Your goals are my goals: finding a college your child will love — and that you can afford. Here’s how I can help:

Comprehensive Financial Aid & Scholarship Support

Drawing on over thirty years of experience, I help you maximize merit and need based aid. I tailor our strategy to help your family to secure scholarships and grants that you are eligible for.

Expert Form Completion

From FAFSA and CSS Profile to any institutional financial aid forms, I guide you through every question. I’ll double-check your submissions to help avoid costly errors.

Admissions Guidance

In conjunction with your child’s guidance counselor, I provide hands-on support in choosing schools, summarizing key factors like admissions policies, acceptance rates, and costs. I also strongly encourage students to complete a career assessment to help them explore meaningful college paths.

Loan Minimization & Planning

I work to limit your reliance on student loans by maximizing free grant aid. If loans are necessary, I help you choose terms that work best for your family.

Ongoing Support Through Graduation

College planning is a journey. From an initial complimentary consult to an indepth plan (with cost projections, college lists, and scholarship matchmaking), through to yearly form help, scholarship appeals, and loan reviews—we stay by your side until your student graduates.

MoneyBack Guarantee

I’m so confident that I can help save your family at least thirty thousand dollars per year that I guarantee it—or your money back.
