College Planning

We all want the best for our children. Who doesn’t? For college-bound students and their parents, the pressure and anxiety around selecting a college right for them can be overwhelming. Coupled with the reality college tuition has increased over the last twenty years at twice the rate of inflation, the result is parents and students need the tools to make an informed decision that won’t saddle them with unmanageable student loan debt.

CSFP’s proactive college planning process guides parents and students through a three-step process allowing the family to make an informed college buying decision based on the student’s career goals.

Our in-depth process provides parents with the awareness and tools necessary to give their student the best chance to graduate on-time and with manageable student loan debt.

College Planning is focused on the college-bound student’s educational aspirations and the family’s ability to fund college for their child. Due to the financial information being disclosed and the emotion involved in the college buying decision, meetings on this topic are best structured with parents only.

Our process will provide parents with the awareness and tools necessary to give their student the best chance to graduate on time and with manageable student loan debt.
