Why Partner with Diversified College Planning?
With the cost of a four-year undergraduate degree now ranging from $100,000 to $380,000, families need more than just a savings plan or test prep—they need a smarter, more comprehensive strategy. While some organizations focus on academic readiness and others on financial planning, very few bridge the gap between getting into college and being able to afford it.
That’s where we come in.

Our holistic, start-to-finish process guides families through every step—from identifying the right-fit schools and navigating admissions to maximizing financial aid and creating a personalized plan to pay for college without going broke! On average, our approach saves families over $84,000 on a four-year education.
College funding and financial planning are not the same. Even the most well-prepared retirement plan can fall short if college costs aren’t factored in. Most financial advisors aren’t specialists in the college admissions or financial aid process. Do they know how to navigate FAFSA and CSS Profile deadlines, evaluate aid offers, file appeals, or leverage competing offers from schools? With over 6,000 colleges and universities in the U.S., it takes specialized, up-to-date insight to make the best choices—and that’s exactly what we deliver.
It’s not just about getting in—it’s about making it work, both academically and financially.
