College and Financial Planning - When it comes to the future of our children, as parents we all want the very best for them. We want to be able to send them to the best schools for an education that will help them achieve their best in life. As parents with high school students, we look back and wonder "Where did the past 17 years go?" Now is the time that our kids rely on us to help them fulfill their dreams.
Our trained college specialists aim to educate families and walk them through the complex college planning process. Our team offers help to each family on how to maximize their financial aid options, minimize out of pocket costs and structure their finances to plan for college without jeopardizing their retirement in the process.
College Planning America specializes in helping college-bound students and their families plan for the educational and financial aspects of college. We understand the stress that paying for college puts on a family's finances, especially in relation to the parent's retirement goals, but we also know that the way you pay for college can make all the difference!
I thought I'd share a college story with you after your advice to negotiate with the colleges. My daughter was all set for St. John's University in Queens, NY with a $32k scholarship until the virus. We decided to not go there for various reasons apart from the health aspect. He wrote me back the next day that he was looking into it.

My experience with Dave Coen has been nothing other than amazing! He presents information about college financial planning and selecting a college designed to help my students achieve their goals in the traditional 4-year college time frame in an easy to understand way for both parents and students. The student assessments are incredibly beneficial and help students recognize their strengths and weaknesses. Dave’s honesty and true desire to help us plan for our students’ futures is refreshing and worth every penny. Dave’s goal isn’t to sell you something, and if you are already on the right

Dear Mr. Cohen,
My wife Armida and I would like to thank you for your guidance through our daughter's college application process. We have spent countless hours researching different strategies we hoped would be successful in getting our daughter into a good college. I have to admit that I have found myself confused and overwhelmed with all of the websites, pamphlets and admissions literature that we have had to sift through. As I’m sure you often hear, we just want what is best for our daughter.
Armida returned home last Friday feeling that you were a blessing sent to us by God. After your

I would highly recommend College Planning America to any and all high school students. Applying to college is hard enough, let alone all of the financial planning. Mr. Coen at College Planning America provided me with the guidance to maximize my financial aid and scholarships. He genuinely cares for the students and their families, making sure that this financial planning not only covers college, but a lifetime. I am so grateful to him for helping me plan for my dream school, the University of Notre Dame, and for continuing to help students make their dreams a reality.
