Counselors

There are two questions we always get when a guidance counselor is introduced to ISM College Planning for the first time. “How much do these services cost?” and “What are some things you can do to help my students?” The first answer is simple: Free! We’ll focus on the second question with the rest of this page, but in short, the ISM College Planning team will help any Hoosier family with any questions they have about paying for college.

ISM College Planning is at YOUR service in the effort to educate students and families about how to pay for college, and do so with the least amount of debt possible! There are four main types of help ISM currently offers:

Presentations:

  • Financial Aid Night

    A presentation that covers the different types of financial aid available, as well as important forms, dates, and resources. This presentation often goes through the FAFSA filing process in great detail.

  • FAFSA Completion Day

    This event is commonly held in a computer lab with families bringing the items needed so the FAFSA can be filed during the workshop.

  • Planning for your future (targeted to students/families a year or more from college)

    This presentation is an overview of financial aid to help families looking at options they will have for paying for college.
