About
How We Help
As part of our mission to help guide our clients through the maze of financial decisions facing you each day, we offer late-stage college planning services for parents with students who will be attending college in the near future.
​
Our main emphasis is on families with college-bound children who are sophomores through seniors in high school. We also believe it is never too early to map out your financial goals if you have a younger student. The sooner you take charge of the college planning process there is more that can be done to optimize your goals.
Our certified College Planning Experts can help you:
​
-
Find the best schools for your child based on his/her interests and your budget (Tip: settling for a less expensive school may, in some cases, end up costing you MORE!)
-
Help you get the largest financial aid package available to you (Tip: Owning a home, or having a high income, doesn’t necessarily disqualify your child from being eligible for aid!)
-
Guide you through the college and financial aid application process (Tip: At least 74% of financial aid forms go in with errors that could cost you thousands in lost aid!)
-
Provide you with a college planning checklist and timeline for completion of necessary steps (Know what needs to be done, and when, to qualify for the most financial aid.)
-
Show you how to pay for any out-of-pocket portion of your child’s college costs in the most efficient and tax-favored manner possible (We can show parents who don’t qualify for aid, or who have a high Student Aid Index, how to pay for this with minimum impact on your lifestyle or retirement plans.)

College Funding
Complex and Confusing
Parents of college bound students once had limited options in getting help wading through the complex and overwhelming process of paying for a college education.
​
As you're probably well aware, College Funding is a 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 Solutions LLC, in coordination with College Planning Network, is to help make this process a smooth one for you and your student.… and to see to it that you do not "overpay" for your upcoming college expenses.
​
One of the biggest components of the College Funding process is "Cash Flow" planning. Simply put, "Cash Flow" planning is the managing of household cash flow so that college costs will be paid for ALL children in a comfortable fashion… without putting a stop to your retirement planning… and without putting yourself and your family into significant debt.
​
Not only is it necessary to keep your Student Aid Index as low as possible, it's even more imperative to devise a plan on how your family is going to cover the substantial college costs that lie ahead.
But you've come to the right place - we're here to help.
At College Solutions LLC and the College Planning Network, we vow to help eliminate the nightmares of the college admissions and the financial aid processes and to prevent costly errors along the way. We will provide you and your family with unsurpassed service and deliver optimum results.
