  • (1888PressRelease) August 01, 2014 - ROSELAND, NJ - Janet Loren, College Benefits Research Group (CBRG), recently earned the Certified Educational Planner (CEP) designation.

    The certification is given by The American Institute of Certified Educational Planners. A Certified Educational Planner (CEP) is a certified professional who has achieved the profession's most rigorous educational standards and adheres to a strict code of ethics. A CEP is an experienced professional who is committed to providing the highest quality of service to students and their families.

    Co-founded by Steven Sirot and David N. Slater and joined by partner, Educational Counselor, Janet Loren, CBRG helps clients discover how a private and/or public education is affordable and attainable and allows hard-working families to hit a "home run" in finding the right school, academically, socially and financially, for their child. CBRG also assists with the filing of financial aid forms.

    "CBRG is different from other college planning services in that we offer "harmonization" of financial, educational and social guidance for the entire family," said Sirot.

    "We meet jointly with students and parents to develop a college game plan that works for everyone," he stated. "Too often college students attend a school because their friends are there, or it is the so-called 'hot school' that is on everyone's radar, without any consideration of whether the school is right for them or the long-term effect it will have on family finances."

    Sirot added, "At CBRG, we work hard with the entire family to let students know that going to college is a responsible decision that affects the whole family, and there are no 'free rides.' The student will be responsible for their academic success in college, which includes graduating in four years, and for paying back of some loans that may need to be taken out in their name."

    College Benefits Research Group's community workshops are held throughout the state and explain in detail many strategies one can employ to find the best college "fit" for your child.
