About

Complete College Planning Solutions helps students get into the college of their dreams without making Mom and Dad go broke. The company has been featured in Forbes, AOL, the Newark Star-Ledger, Channel 11 and numerous radio programs.  

Founded by national college funding expert Ian Welham, their free community workshops have helped thousands of families learn how to get money from colleges (including elite colleges) even if you don’t qualify for need-based aid.

The CCPS team holds your hand through every step of the process, showing you exactly what to do and what NOT to do so you avoid the mistakes that disqualify you from aid – including what to do if you’re under-awarded by the college.

By helping families fill out the FAFSA form, institutional forms and other required paperwork, CCPS eliminates one of the biggest headaches parents struggle with.

Their advisors steer you clear of the most common and costly mistakes that 95% of parents make in paying for college, and show you dozens of 100% legal ways to leverage the tax code to get your Uncle Sam to contribute more to the college bill.

An assigned counselor guides your son or daughter through the entire college preparation process, including:
- choosing a major and a career
- college search & visits (the right way and the wrong way)
- college application assistance (how to put your best foot forward)
- SAT and ACT prep
- how to get the most effective letters of recommendation
- admissions essay service (professional one-on-one guidance from essay topic choice through final version)
- the admissions interview (do’s and don’ts that make a big difference)

Their family programs relieve you of the burden of 1,001 details and hours of worry and aggravation… saving your family from the stress and strife associated with the college application process.
