Four years ago, my son began working with Brian and the College Planning Experts. Now my daughter is close to graduating high school, and my son encouraged her to consult them. She always raves about how helpful they are and how friendly the staff is both on the phone and over email. This is a great company and has done wonders for my family. I would encourage anyone to take advantage of their help.

If you are planning to go to college get in touch with the folks at College Planning Experts right away. I did and now I am going to the college of my choice and even got a scholarship to pay for some of the costs that I did not even know existed. The services are second to none and are a bargain when you consider all that they do for you.

Expert services and knowledgeable staff make College Planning Experts the place to turn. With their help I successfully got into a community college program that I could afford and that will prepare me for a career in computer programming. I have told all my friends who are considering going back to college that they need to reach out to these people. Thank you College Planning Experts.

Thanks to College Planning Experts free workshops. I now know a lot more about how to finance my college education. This was an area I was finding confusing and I felt the workshops made it all much clearer. Staff are knowledgeable and able to handle any questions you may have and I had a lot. They provide a great service I highly recommend them.

The one on one counseling I received from College Planning Experts is why my college planning was a success. When I first started out, I was dumbfounded. I did not know how to market myself to college admissions nor did I understand how to navigate through the maze of financial aid options I was presented with. By utilizing the services of College Planning Experts, I achieved all my goals and more. If you need help with the whole process, these are the people you should turn too.

I’m so grateful for the time I spent with CollegePlanningExperts.com. Not only did they help me realize my dream of going to college, but they’ve kept up with me to assure that I am still on the right path to graduate on time with as little financial debt as possible. Thanks a lot CollegePlanningExperts.com!

I’m so glad that I sought out the help of CollegePlanningExperts.com. My family is a bunch of working-class people who attended college before me, but times are changing and college is completely different than when they went. When I began to inform my parents of the information I was learning, even they were surprised by the amount of knowledge that I received and it even prompted them to say a few, “I wish I knew that back in my day” comments. Overall, I feel more prepared than ever and CollegePlanningExperts.com made it easier for me to relax once I stepped onto campus. Knowing that I am more prepared for each step of my college career, I can enjoy it a bit more and know exactly what to expect.

I thought I knew everything about college preparation. I have been planning for college since I was a freshman in high school and was very prepared and excited to make the leap. However, after seeing a few friends (who I thought I was much more prepared than) get information from CollegePlanningExperts.com, I realize that I may not know as much as I originally thought. After doing my own research and spending time with CollegePlanningExperts.com, I realize that I am truly now prepared better than ever. The information I knew beforehand was helpful, sure. But to combine it with the knowledge that I now have, I feel ready and confident to embark upon my college experience. I look forward to all that college has to offer, even more so now with the guidance I’ve received from CollegePlanningExperts.com.

Great service from a great company, we highly recommend the people from college planning experts. They don’t try to help you find the right college or plan your courses or anything like that, for the record, these guys help you figure out how you are going to pay for the institution and degree you want once you have picked it out. They know all the ins and outs of the financial aid and loan game, and can help with everything from advice on negotiating loan rates to telling you where to look for hidden rebates and freebies and such. Great to have had someone in our corner who had dealt with the college payment debacle dozens of times, it made our first time down that road much easier than expected!

Pretty simple to explain this one: a college education is expensive as all hell and financing it can leave you in debt for years. Got that much? Trying to find financial aid, grants, loopholes and such as a great idea but also a great way to give yourself a weeklong migraine headache. So call these guys, College Planning Experts, and let them help you figure out how you or your kid is going to be able to pay for their higher education. They have already thought of and tried just about every avenue into college spending savings and can give you advice based on years of experience so you don’t have to waste your time or drive yourself nuts doing it.

I am guidance counselor and a school administrator. I have lots of experience in the college planning process but after attending Brian’s workshop, I learned the business side of college planning. I didn’t realize that college is a business and the entire admissions and financial aid is based on the school’s goals of who they want and give money. Brian thought me something I never knew, how to negotiate for a better financial aid package. He showed me the exact formula to increase my daughter’s chance in getting accepted to her dream college. He also showed me how to get free money from college even with a high income. We’ve had free workshops hosted at our school but this workshop was an eye opener. We are only allowing Brian’s firm to speak at our school from here on out. Our families will really learn how to really take control of the process and not be blindsided.

I was trying to pay my own way through college (through the second half of a four year degree after finishing an associates degree at a smaller school, I should say) and was pretty much about to sign away the next decade of my life to paying off student loan debt before I called College Planning Experts. They should call themselves College PAYING experts is more like it, because these guys know all the ins and outs about how to get your degree paid for without having to pay with years and years of debt. The name is a bit misleading at first, almost, because they don’t help you pick a college or plan your educational carer path, what a rep from College Planning Experts will do for you is listen to where you want to go, consider your financial circumstances, and then will work with you to make sure that the payment plans, loans, aid, and everything that you agree to take on is as light a load as possible, and that you get as much assistance as possible from the systems that already exist. Basically they know how to work the system, and it is way to your advantage!

If you are anything like our family, you're going to be totally overwhelmed when you start looking into the college application process. Who the heck even knows where to start? I’ll tell ya: the guys from College Planning Experts. Boom! Problem solved! OK well not quite, you still have to pick the right school, your kid has to get in, etc and etc, but they make understanding your options a whole lot easier, that much I can say for sure!
