has helped me (a single mother of 4 children) restructure
my situation to maximize the benefits of the FAFSA process.
They encouraged us to look at private universities and
not just state schools because there is more money available
for financial aid in a private school. Between academic
scholarships, university grants, and low-cost student
loans, my twin daughters are attending a private university
which costs $35,000/year per student at a cost to me
of $6,000 for each daughter. CPN not only helped me
restructure my financials, they helped me to understand
the whole FAFSA process. I highly recommend CPN for
anyone who has a child entering college to help access
their financial situation.

I
thought I understood the college funding process based
upon my experience with my first child in college. When
my second child was ready for college I decided there
was no harm in seeking some additional professional
support and contacted the College Planning Network.
I thought maybe they could
provide some suggestions for dealing with two college
students. In reviewing my situation with the CPN professionals,
we were able to make adjustments in my financial situation
to improve - which meant reduce - the magical Expected
Family Contribution (EFC) number for both children.
We got subsidized versus unsubsidized loans which will
save a lot of interest over the long-term. Additionally,
we were also able to improve my overall family financial
situation by paying off debt and readjusting our strategies
for retirement. Thank you.

Good
friends recommended the College Planning Network to
my wife and me. They conveyed a sense of relief at having
experienced professionals handle the college funding
process from start to finish. It can be overwhelming.
My wife and I, too, have been very happy with the decision
to utilize their services. We found ourselves comfortable
discussing our financials and very pleased with their
counseling and recommendations. We all have our expertise.
It was nice to know that when the time came to need
someone else's expertise, the College Planning Network
was there to assist. Simply put, they took the worry
out of the process and saved us time and money we wouldn't
have otherwise known to be possible.

Our
experience with the College Planning Network has helped
our family at multiple levels of the college planning
process. CPN has helped us make the best college choice
for our daughter. Our assets have been retained for our
retirement. More grant and scholarship monies were received
from her college. The biggest benefit is that they counseled
us through the FASFA process, helping us receive the lowest
EFC for the past three years. We feel more confident starting
the process again with our Junior and know we can get
factual answers to new questions.
