Feb 15,2024The speed at which they got my application done in was amazing. The only reason it took longer was due to my part and needing to find the required documentation. RISLAs service is amazing.

Feb 07,2024We use The College Planning Center every year to fill out the FAFSA. Scheduling is simple and they have hours that work for working parents. Every person I have worked with has been professional, efficient, and helpful. When the meeting is over, I feel confident that everything has been done correctly and I can now check that item off my to-do list.
