From Conversation to Career
We help families prepare for their children's future
FREE COLLEGE MONEY
To receive financial aid you must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You must file each year while attending college to receive financial aid. We have found that approximately 82% of the FAFSA forms submitted to us for review have errors.
The professionals at College Planning TODAY Services (CPTS) will review your FAFSA and optimize it to your advantage.
THE STUDENT LOAN CRISIS
College debt has surpassed $1.4 trillion dollars in the United States, surpassing even credit card debt.
Surprising to many is that 40% of that debt is held by parents and 60% by the students.
The professionals at College Planning TODAY Services can assist you with Student Loan Debt options.
Most parents' wish is to see their children educated, hopefully with a professional career. However, without college and financial planning, this wish will only turn into good intentions.

Starting a Family
It’s never too early to start funding a child’s college education. The earlier you start the more options you have to ensure you are saving in the right manner. It is critical you choose the right savings strategy to protect yourself against market risks and overbearing penalties on the FAFSA. Did you know that saving money in the student’s name can reduce your ability to receive financial aid by four times as much as other savings plans? The professionals at CPTS know how to structure your savings plan in the most efficient way possible.
Start Sooner
than later!!!
It is no secret that those who start planning early for their children's future receive the most benefits and resources
