The Full College Plan includes -
- Finding the "Right Fit" colleges - Initially, we start with 10 colleges/universities selected specifically based on your family questionnaires and rankings. We will review those colleges and you will continue the research and provide further input to refine the selection. By senior year, there will be a great list of colleges with academic programs and other opportunities that fit your goals and dreams.
- Finding the "Right Price" colleges – Based on your family’s finances and the importance of cost, the above colleges will be selected with cost in mind. The best place to look for money to pay for college is the college itself. Determining what kind of money they have (need or merit) will determine if the college can be a financial fit for the family. After that, other sources are found to get the cost reduced as much as possible. We do not offer financial planning or financial products or tax advice.
- Assistance with applications for the colleges and financial aid forms is available. October is FAFSA month for Making College Worth It. It is very important to get the financial aid forms in ASAP. Once acceptances and aid packages arrival, a review of options is available.
- The final section of the plan assists with the student's understanding of career options for possible majors. The goal is launching your new career. Knowing the skills needed to compete for that career is critical. Going into college understanding the coursework to make you the best candidate for a job is vital to Making College Worth It!

I have worked with families that have experienced death, divorce, separation, remarriage, and job loss in addition to families unaffected by these events. I have worked with students that range from Ivy League aspirations to Associates degrees at a local community college. I have worked with athletes, actors, engineers, journalists, students with learning differences, and adults going back to college.
Every student has their own unique path to success and I help find it.
