Choosing Your Financial Fit
Up until now, students and families have been forced to hope that the financial awards they receive from colleges meet their budget. Choosing your Financial Fit, our innovative new service, allows you to set your college budget and then learn what schools meet that budget so you apply only to ones that fit your price range. Take control of your college search and choose your financial fit.
Valuable for students at all stages of high school, this module uses a structured process
to help you identify what you WANT to pay for college as a first step in the application process. My College Planning Team then identifies a set of schools that fit your budget.
Ideal start: January of Junior year in High School
