(without going broke!)

The Value of Cardinal College Planning
-
Personal Attention: There are over 4,000 colleges in the U.S. and it can be extremely difficult to choose one on your own. Guidance counselors can help, but the truth is they have too many students and not enough time. We are your personal advisor, giving you our undivided attention and providing dedicated support.
-
Save Money: The average total cost of college ranges from $25,290 (in-state) to $50,900 (private)… for EACH year! And since only 41% of college students graduate in 4 years, that can get expensive. We help you ask colleges the right questions, craft an appealing application, and analyze financial aid packages to deliver long-term savings and a high return on investment.
-
Less Stress! Getting through high school is hard enough, and your student has to think about the future, too. We take the stress off of both the student and the parents by keeping everyone on track with what they should be doing and when, giving the whole family relief and a sense of peace.
