If you plan on skipping the FAFSA because of your family income, know that you’re not alone and help is available at College Planning Experts.

This is one of the reasons why College Planning Experts has decided to expand to the state. If you think your family net worth disqualifies your child from getting federal aid, then you need to sign up for one of its workshops to learn the truth.

According to the company, its move will benefit students from families who are making above $100,000 annually or higher, as the company can walk them through the process of completing the FAFSA form, which many find to be a particularly difficult document to accomplish.
This observation is not an exaggeration, as it is supported by a recent report from RED—a publication of the Metropolitan State University of Denver—which found that Colorado ranks 45th among states when it comes to FAFSA completion. One of the experts interviewed by the paper said that the amount of information needed to complete the form discourages students from finishing it.
College Planning Experts agrees that it is indeed a minefield. “Overstating the value of your assets or income, entering information in the wrong place, missing deadlines, and misunderstanding questions are all common errors that cost individual families thousands of dollars every year,” it explained on its website.
In each engagement, the company ensures that your reported income is kept to a minimum for your specific situation and that accurate information is supplied throughout the form.
This advisory service is rendered by a team of counselors, who each hold relevant certifications in college counseling, so you can rest assured that your child’s case is being handled by an expert. These professionals can also help your child find the right school and prepare the necessary paperwork for admissions, such as essays and personal statements.
College Planning Experts was established by author, speaker, and philanthropist Brian Safdari. After finishing college in debt, Mr. Safdari decided to dedicate his career to helping families obtain college aid through his in-depth knowledge of the admissions process.
Since its founding, his firm has been instrumental in aiding over 25,000 families get aid regardless of their financial situations. Plus, his efforts have been recognized by some members of the US Congress.
