I tried to convince her to provide a $1 million scholarship fund just for Complete College Planning Solutions clients, but no dice.
Back in the day, women attending college were a rarity. And we’re not talking about the 18th or 19th century. Even as late as the 1970’s, women were not allowed to attend some of America’s most prestigious universities.
Today, less than 40 years later, there are more women college undergraduates than men. In fact, some schools [...]

Here are some real comments from parents just like you who attended recent workshops:
"Very informative. All my concerns were addressed."
"Before you even THINK about sending your kids to college you must attend this seminar or just make an appointment for a consultation. It's a game changer. I just wish I knew about it before I overpaid for my first two to go to college. I will not make the same mistake this time. To say I'm delighted with this information is an understatement."
"I want to extend my thanks to you and your team member for sharing the financial planning seminar with our parents on November 18. I think the night was a great success. One parent told me that she learned so much that she was surprised and overwhelmed. Please let me know if you are interested in running another seminar in the spring semester."
"We were overwhelmed by the reality of 3 of our 4 children in college at the same time with bills in excess of $150,000/year. Faced with the choice of draining all of the assets that we built over our lifetimes or denying our children their dreams, we felt devastated. The information we learned at your seminar was priceless. It was crucial information that we never learned from our guidance counselors. CCPS enabled our children to "achieve" their dreams without "ruining" ours. You are the best!"
"I booked a consultation because I heard these guys were good. Best decision I've made. I trust them to help my son get into a good school, and at the same time save me thousands of dollars a year."
"Ian and Paul were able to explain and simplify the college planning process. They identified potential problem areas and offered viable solutions. Through their expert advice we are able to maximize our time, money and resources while minimizing our stress! A welcomed service in any (financial) environment, but especially in today's."
