As you’re probably well aware, College Funding is a dreadfully complex and confusing process. From the mountains of paperwork to trying to understand the countless rules and regulations that the Department of Education throws at you, it is definitely not “easy.” Our mission at College Planning Associates is to help make this process a smooth one for you and your family and to see to it that you do not overpay for your upcoming college expenses.
Don’t make the mistake that so many families do, which is taking a “band-aid” approach to financing their kids college education. A band-aid approach is looking at just the first year costs for the first child as they come due versus putting a detailed plan on how all college costs will be covered for all the children. The difference is enormous. An attention to planning gives families a solid financial base to work with going forward.
We are certified N.A.C.F.A. Advisors and can assist you in setting up this financial base so that you and your family have no doubts in how you are going to fund all college costs without sabotaging any of your other financial goals.
On this site you will be able to learn about our services and sign up for one of our FREE workshops where we help you plan for your child's future education and provide you with valuable information. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us anytime.
Thank you and we look forward to working with you soon.

7 Secrets of Highly Successful Students |

What does it cost a student to go to college without any idea of how to manage the process? It may cost a lot. Students who have knowledgeable parents or older siblings to guide them can finesse the process, earn higher grades, get along better with faculty, solve problems with the business office, and so on. But students who are the first in their family to go to college have no one to guide them, and their mistakes can cost them that awesome post-college job, or access to the best graduate schools.
At a recent conference, I sat at a table full of staffers from various undergraduate research programs. We got to musing about how nice it would be if all students knew the insider tips and techniques the best students seem to soak up from the ether.
This is not about being smart. This is about being savvy. So from our notes scribbled on a stack of paper napkins, here is what savvy students know that others seem to miss:
