I mentioned a few days ago, that I recently became certified as a Certified College Planning Program consultant/coach. As many of you know, education is been a passion of mine for most of my adult years, and every time I come across resources to help aid our students on their way to college, I get pretty excited about it.
This information am including today, is a short video about the College Planning Program, which is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) program of HIFE (Heartland Institute of Financial Education).
It’s never too early to get started for making plans for college, and keep in mind, that the applications for financial aid and assistance, start being submitted, and flying around like crazy at the first of the year. This a lot of good information in the short video, so please pay attention.
And, if you know of families and students who are getting their children ready for college, I’d be more than happy to help them as their personal consultant/coach of the College Planning Program.
All the best to all the great students out there!
Feel free to contact me directly at James.Donaldson@hife-usa.org for further questions of information that you might be interested in.
