Please join us for a FREE Educational College Planning webinar that will focus on college bound students of all ages. We will address the problems associated with college specific savings plans and the details of the Section 529 Plan.
We will also discuss the FAFSA form and all other information you need to understand in order to maximize the amount of financial aid you are eligible to receive.
Even if your family isn’t eligible for need-based aid, we will cover the best strategies on how to pay for college in the most cost-effective basis, without it putting a strain on the rest of your finances.
Attention Parents: If you have a college bound student of any age, you can’t afford to miss this informational workshop.

~Testimonials~
“I found many of College Planning Fresno’s (CPF) services to be “most” helpful. Speaking with the college funding advisor and the filing of all documents in a timely manner was only the beginning. I was very pleased with all of CPF’s services and financially they saved us a substantial amount of money which truly enabled our son to attend his first choice.”
~ The Johnson Family
“CPF has helped me (a single mother of 4 children) restructure my situation to maximize the benefits of the FAFSA process. They encouraged us to look at private universities and not just state schools because there is more money available for financial aid in a private school. I highly recommend CPF for anyone who has a child entering college to help access their financial situation.”
~ The Singh Family
“Good friends recommended The College Planning Fresno 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. Simply put, they took the worry out of the process and saved us time and money we wouldn’t have otherwise known to be possible.”
~ The Crenshaw Family
“We have had a very positive experience with CPF, particularly by comparison with our previous attempt to select/ fund college by ourselves. We would highly recommend the CPF group for anyone who wants to target the best options for their child’s college experience.”
~ The Thompson Family
“I like CPF because I have enough on my plate already. They have been able to give us options that we were unaware existed. They have been very good at listening and understanding our individual family issues. We now have a game plan to send our three girls to college. Thank you!”
~ The Carlson Family
