Los Angeles,United States - November 4, 2022 /PressCable/ —
College Planning Experts, a multi-awarded consulting firm based in LA, has announced a series of advisory services to families in Illinois with college-bound students. It aims to provide assistance in the various aspects of college admissions, particularly in financial aid planning.

According to the company, its decision to expand to the state is timely, as families are already searching for funding sources for the 2023-2024 calendar year. Moreover, state authorities have already released guidance on the ideal FAFSA filing dates to be considered for various aid programs.
In Illinois, the Office of Student Financial Aid has advised students who are interested in state, federal, and institutional funding support to submit their FAFSA forms no later than January 5, 2023.
“We give special attention to the FAFSA because it is the primary document that grant and scholarship providers look at when appraising aid applicants,” a company spokesperson explained.
To increase one’s chances of being selected, College Planning Experts offers a comprehensive form preparation service that ensures the accuracy of all information provided and prevents instances of income overstatement, which it describes as a costly mistake that many applicants commit.
Further, the consultancy can also identify lesser-known funding sources on behalf of its clients. This is important, it explained, as scholarships rarely cover the amount needed to complete a degree.
“Athletic scholarships are a good example,” a representative said. “Many believe that student-athletes get a free ride through college, but that privilege is only given to a very small percentage of people; the rest needs to look for a way to cover the entire tuition cost.”
The realities of funding and the possible recourses are discussed in full in the workshops offered by the company. College Planning Experts regularly holds in-person sessions and webinars that touch upon career planning, school selection, private education funding, and more.
