COLLEGE PLANNING: A Critical Piece of Your FInancial Future
At Community Educational Funding, we understand that college planning is no longer just about your child’s education – it’s a key part of your family’s financial future. Many parents underestimate the time, effort, and financial resources required to send one or more children to college. With the rising costs of higher education, the financial burden can be overwhelming. Plus, navigating the complexities of financial aid – including grants, scholarships, and loans – can be confusing and challenging.
Our mission is simple: help your child get into the right school for them, while also ensuring that you can afford it. We’re here to guide you through every step of the process, making sure you take full advantage of all financial aid opportunities and secure the best possible outcome for your family’s financial well-being.
GET STARTED WITH COMMUNITY EDUCATIONAL FUNDING
To kick off your college planning journey, we host workshops every week in the Charlotte, North Carolina area. These workshops are the best way to learn about our process and how we can help you. Join us to gain valuable insights into college planning, financial aid, and strategies to make your child’s education more affordable.
OUR PROCESS
STUDENT AND ACADEMIC SERVICES
It all begins with your student. Our dedicated college counselors help your son or daughter pick the right schools where they would be competitive applicants. Additionally, we help your student identify potential major(s). Lastly, we walk them through the college application and admissions process (essay review, application assistance, etc.)
ADMISSIONS AND FINANCIAL AID STRATEGY
Once we identify the best schools for your student, we formulate an admissions strategy that will increase their likelihood of being accepted. Additionally, we walk you through the appeals and negotiation process in hopes of increasing the financial aid award from the school.
FINANCIAL AID GUIDANCE AND PAPERWORK COMPLETION
Our financial aid team completes any and all financial aid forms required by the schools your student is applying to. We make sure all of the forms are submitted accurately and on-time as missing deadlines or making mistakes in this process can be very costly.
COLLEGE FUNDING STRATEGY
Our strategy design team will develop a detailed financial plan to pay for any out of pocket college expenses in the most efficient way possible. Our goal is to help you get college costs paid for without tapping into savings or assets that are purposed for retirement or other goals.
