| Who We Are:
We are a non-profit, federal tax-exempt 501
(c) 3, national organization of educational & financial professionals
specializing in college planning & funding. Our purpose is to help parents
and students sort through myriad of decisions that lay ahead, decisions that can
and will influence a student's future. We provide information on how and why to
select colleges as it relates to costs and share insight on how to make paying
for college a financial non-event---whether the family qualifies for financial
aid or not!
Parents and teachers work painstakingly
throughout the years preparing students for a successful college experience. We
want to make sure that finances do not stand in the way of getting the college
education they have worked so hard to achieve.
Additionally, we have worked with Universities to provide a comprehensive
workshop that is designed exclusively for college bound families. | | | | What We Do:

for College could be the Best Thing to Happen to You", with the assistance of
our sponsors, remains free of charge to all of our participating High Schools.
