Recent studies show 53% of those who didn’t apply for financial aid would have qualified for assistance! Is that true of those in your high school?
Is every family you are working with completing financial aid forms during their student’s senior year? If not, why not? In most cases they are forfeiting money they could have otherwise received to have a fighting chance at making college affordable.
Here’s another question…Do parents think you are remiss in your duties NOT to offer them assistance with this critically important part of their child’s life?
If the answer is yes, or even could be yes, you owe it to yourself, to your school, and most importantly to the families you serve to have the National Center For College Planning host a Financial Aid Night or present one of our FREE workshops called “How To Pay For College Without Going Broke.”
Many public and private high schools around Atlanta have partnered with NCCP to help educate their families on how to make college affordable. And with many of our happy clients going to their schools’ principals, guidance counselors, and PTSA board members with glowing reviews, many more are beginning to see the benefits of working with us.

Here are some comments we’ve received on our workshop evaluation forms. You may recognize some of these happy attendees since they come from real public, private, and home schools all over the North Metro Atlanta area. “This is the first college workshop that has given us any hope!” -Janice Peck, Teacher“This started me thinking about everything that needs to be done and it was totally worth it. I can’t believe how much I learned.” -Bruce and Linda Gripkey, business owners“I loved your presentation and the organized way you explained everything - without asking me to buy anything. I was very pleasantly surprised!” -Jody Baker“I love the idea that even though we have a higher income, we can still get money for college.” -Steve and Frances Yoakem“My kid’s guidance counselor didn’t tell us any of this – everything was extremely useful.” -Mitch Cohen“This is what every parent MUST know before they even THINK about applying for college.” -Janine Malloy“I thought the high school would provide this information, but they haven’t. I don’t know what I would have done if I had not come!” -Steve and Julie Garner“I’ve been staying awake at night worrying about paying for college. Thanks for helping me sleep again!” -Gary A. Rant |
As an educator, you can expect the following benefits from working with NCCP:
* A higher rate of college bound seniors – especially those receiving financial aid!
* An increase in the number of students attending the top universities, while their parents pay the least amount possible in total costs – often times even less than it would have cost to send them to a local in-state college!
* Widespread appreciation from the students, parents (and even grandparents) who were worried about how they were going to pay for college.
* A knowledgeable resource to compliment the work you already do to prepare students for college, including programs for the most advantageous career path, evaluating best-fit colleges with the most generous financial aid awards, and assistance with the college entrance process, including critiquing essays and resumes, prepping for interviews, etc.
* A fellow educator who is committed to supporting the community without creating a conflict of interest that often comes from bringing outside businesses into your organization.
* A financial partner who understands and supports your tremendous efforts to provide a first class education on a tight budget.
* The peace of mind knowing you are doing all you can to help the families entrusted to your care – even going beyond your area of expertise or ability to serve them in house.
* A stronger track record of success with your alumni achieving meaningful and profitable lives.
* And much more…
Contact us to see how we can assist your junior and senior class with their college planning process. It would be a shame for them to miss out on something this important, simply because the opportunity wasn’t made available to them.
Let’s partner today and start making a difference. You’ll have an added advantage over the other high schools, and you’ll send off your students well prepared for the next level of their education!
