Fee-Only College Planning

Our pricing is intentionally uncomplicated to ensure that your family has one less unexpected cost to worry about.

For stand-alone projects we charge an affordable $250 hourly fee for our college planning work.

For continuous engagements we charge a transparent month-to-month retainer ($750) with no cancellation penalty or commitment beyond the current month. This plan includes access to our client portal with milestones, checklists, resources, file exchanges, and communications all in one convenient location.

A student loan analysis is charged at a flat rate of $750 (services beyond the analysis are billed at the hourly rate).

Please note that although we do complete consulting engagements in the areas of admissions and financial aid, we do not, will not, serve as a FAFSA preparer.
