Helping with the FAFSA completion process is an incredible service that RISLA provides. It's always fast, efficient and even enjoyable! With two kids in college, we've used the FAFSA service for three years now. Highly recommend!

I couldn't be happier with the service. The person I worked with was patient through the process and knowledgeable about the procedures. It removed a lot of stress about completing the FAFSA on time and correctly.

They are amazing. They answer all your questions with patience. They walk you through all you need to know or do regarding your kids college loans. They take the stress out of filling out FAFSA forms.

The woman that helped us was very kind and knowledgeable. It made the whole experience easy. We would have been lost trying to complete the forms on our own.

I just completed my 8th and last appt with the college planning center. I am a social worker and do numerous applications but I loved having the college planning center take this worry off me. I always knew it would be done perfectly. Every person that assisted me through the years has been wonderful. Can’t thank them enough !!!!

Courtney was very knowledgable. She helped us to reset our passwords because it has been a bit since we logged in. She was helpful with the process, why we have to do FAFSA - even though our child is looking to attend CCRI. She also was thoughtful, caring and had a great sense of humor.
