College Planner Offers Tips For College Bound Students. End Quote

(1888PressRelease) October 18, 2017 - Roseland, NJ - College is expensive and many students are not aware of their options when it comes to paying for education. Jeanne Parnell of WHCR 90.3 FM recently spoke with Steven Sirot, Co-Founder, College Benefits Research Group (CBRG), where they discussed strategies to ease the cost of tuition for both the parents and the student.

Sirot said, “It’s important that you look at how schools give money whether it is need based or merit based.” He continues, “You first start with the family budget and that should be communicated with the student. You shouldn’t focus just on lower priced schools because some of the more expensive schools give the most aid.”

College Benefits Research Group (CBRG) is a college planning organization with a unique model for working with families to find the right “fit” for their child not only financially, but academically and socially as well. Their three prong model in the college planning arena is innovative and effective in order to develop a college game plan that works for everyone. CBRG has appeared in print and broadcast media outlets.

Co-founded by Steven Sirot and David N. Slater and joined by their partner, Certified Educational Planner, Janet Loren, CBRG demonstrates 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.

“We are different from other college planning services in that we offer “harmonization” of financial, educational and social guidance for the entire family,” says Steven Sirot. “We meet jointly with students and parents to develop a college game plan that works for everyone. 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. 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.”
