Pay Less for College
Collegiate Crossings has partnered with College Aid Pro, our financial aid and scholarship firm, to give families professional financial aid planning, free resources, and a free consultation to start. First-generation, low-income, and foster youth families welcome.
Counseling is our strength. Paying less for college is theirs.
Families kept asking us the hardest question in the college process: what will this actually cost, and can we afford it?
So we brought in a specialist. College Aid Pro is a financial aid and scholarship firm whose entire practice is helping families pay less for college. They handle the aid analysis and scholarship strategy. We stay beside your family through every decision.
Collegiate Crossings brings
A dedicated counselor, college list building, application support, and a relationship that lasts from junior year to move-in day.
College Aid Pro brings
Net cost projections for 3,000+ schools, merit scholarship matching, FAFSA and CSS Profile expertise, and side-by-side award letter analysis.
Four ways families end up paying less
Know the real price first
Before your student applies anywhere, see the projected net cost at each school on the list. Families who plan around net cost apply to schools that will be generous to them.
Chase the right scholarships
Merit aid matched to your student’s actual GPA and test profile, so the hours go into applications with a real chance instead of national lotteries.
File aid forms correctly
FAFSA and CSS Profile, line by line, with the questions that quietly cost families money answered right the first time.
Borrow less, or not at all
Award letters decoded, grants separated from loans, and honest math on what a monthly payment will feel like after graduation.
