Our goal is to eliminate the obstacles that prevent students
from receiving the best possible college education.
We focus on these primary areas...
GETTING IN - Career Planning and School Selection
LOWERING THE COSTS - Financial Aid, Scholarships and Grants
PAYING FOR IT - Proven Financial Planning Concepts
The initial concern for most parents is "GETTING IN". Only to
find out that paying the bill is just as, if not, more
important. In fact, the way you handle paying the tuition bill,
can cause long term detrimental damage to your family's finances
down the road. At Parros College Planning we believe that
getting your child into the right school and on the right career
path are equally as important as lowering the overall costs and
developing a proven financial plan to pay for it.
GETTING IN - Career Guidance, College Selection, & Admissions
By doing proper preliminary work, you can minimize the chances
of being in college for more than four years. It is costly when
the wrong major, wrong school, or a college where you "just
don't fit" are chosen. Similar to visiting the Doctor, we will
do some Academic Diagnostics to see where you are today and help
you implement a plan to get you where you need to be in the
future. Our program includes:
Evaluation of grades, class standing & standardized test scores.
Personality assessments designed by one of the leading
Industrial Psychologists in the country which will help you
identify your possible Career interests, Majors and Colleges.
Detailed profiles of Colleges which you are interested in.
A review of your student resume of community service, leadership
& other extra curricular activities.
Once potential colleges have been identified, positioning your
student becomes the primary focus. Our program includes:
How to position the Student to get onto the College's Radar.
Task / Project Tracking for Various Deadlines. There are
Deadlines for Standardized Tests, Applications, and Financial
Aid & Housing. Each college may have several different
application deadlines as well as Deadlines for Priority
Financial Aid & Priority Housing.
Review admission applications and the student resume.
Guidance with FAFSA, CSS Profile and any college specific
Financial Aid forms.

as appropriate and with the student & parent evaluate the Final
College Choice.
