What Families Are Saying
“I found myself saying “this sounds too good to be true. What’s the catch?” There was no “catch”, just a detailed total plan of lowering our Expected Family Contribution…”
As many parents with children getting closer to going to college, we were setting away money for their education, but as we found out, not nearly enough for the astronomical prices that we have now been exposed to. Faced with the fact that our Family Contribution could be as high as $25k per year for … Read more
“…It looks like we will not have to pay anything or take out any loans this year!”
Hi Scott! I just wanted to let you know that we just got the first award letter back for the 2007 and 2008 school year for Breanne and Allison. They have received so much in aid that it looks like we will not have to pay anything or take out any loans this year! I … Read more
“We could not have gotten where we are without you.”
Dear Cathy and Joanna, Laura got accepted to Ohio Northern (which was one of her top choices). No news from the other colleges yet but I know it is still early. We could not have gotten where we are without you. Thank you so much. Yolanda H.

“The approach CPN utilizes is a personal and a very thorough review, taking into consideration all of the aspects of the search process…”
As a family with 2 children, the cost of high school has been a significant burden upon the financial picture and being able to ‘make-ends-meet’. When our older daughter was ready for college, we were advised to consider the services of The College Planning Network, and I am so glad that we took the time … Read more
“We give you guys a lot of credit and tell all that will listen about you guys.”
Hi Pam, Thanks, we just found out, over the weekend, that Mackenzie was also accepted to the University of San Diego. She is “totally” excited. Thanks again for all you’re doing and to your organization. We give you guys a lot of credit and tell all that will listen about you guys
“They have been very good at listening and understanding our individual family issues.”
I like CPN because I have enough on my plate already. They have been able to give us options that we were unaware existed. I like “think” time and I do not feel pressure to make decisions. They have been very good at listening and understanding our individual family issues. We now have a game … Read more
“They also enabled our daughter to go to Case Western, which was a school we were not even considering due to the high tuition…”
We are a middle class/double income family and we did have some money saved for our three daughters’ college. Like many of you, we anticipated there wasn’t much we could do but pay the bills and take out loans when our savings ran out. But after listening to the advice from the college specialists at … Read more
“Additionally, we were also able to improve my overall family financial situation by paying off debt and readjusting our strategies for retirement. “
I thought I understood the college funding process based upon my experience with my first child in college. When my second child was ready for college I decided there was no harm in seeking some additional professional support and contacted The College Planning Network. I thought maybe they could provide some suggestions for dealing with … Read more
“We received an updated Financial Aid award and she has retained all her original aid…”
Thank YOU Alicia. Your impeccable service is a God-send! We received an updated Financial Aid award and she has retained all her original aid, yay!
“…Having professionals work with my son, energize him, and help navigate him towards the college admission process has been very valuable.”
With two students in high school, the thought of having them enter college back to back was keeping me up at night. After attending a free Tele-Workshop and talking with The College Planning Network, I was able to relax, listen to their advice, and face the next several years with the knowledge that I have … Read more
“By lowering our EFC we have saved our family thousands of dollars in college funding.”
When we listened to The College Planning Network’s Tele-Workshop, we knew it was different than other seminars we had attended before that simply told us how to fill out the dreaded FAFSA and when to do it. The presenter was knowledgeable and gave many “free” tips and techniques in the Tele-Workshop. After an hour of … Read more
“Simply put, they took the worry out of the process and saved us time and money…”
Good friends recommended The College Planning Network to my wife and me. They conveyed a sense of relief at having experienced professionals handle the college funding process from start to finish. It can be overwhelming. My wife and I, too, have been very happy with the decision to utilize their services. We found ourselves comfortable … Read more
“Because we are new to this “college jungle”, the stress level has been greatly reduced to know we can always call with any questions and they will get back with us in a timely manner.”
We have been very pleased with our initial experiences using CPN. Their staff has always been available to talk with us, remind us of deadlines, and return multiple phone calls when questions came up. Because we are new to this “college jungle”, the stress level has been greatly reduced to know we can always call … Read more

Jodi, Thanks for your prompt responses to all of my questions. I have been very pleased with the level of service I have received from CPN since enrolling last week. Have a great week! Barb
