Got in the mail something from College Partnership. It is a sevice that assists you in obtaining financial aid, merit aid, athletic recruiting, etc. Beyond the general group presentation there is a fee involved to work individually with you.
Anyone know anything about this organization/business?

An acquaintance of mine used their services for $800 and their D ended up at some obscure college in Nebraska with a package worth not much more than the fee they paid. My S received their letter in the mail and we tossed it. You can probably find much more useful information on this site and, best of all, it's free!

It's a scam. Pure and simple. We received one of those letters a few months ago. It immediately recieved a home in the circular file.

Never pay for something you can get for free. You are wasting your money.
Talk to your Financial Aid Counselor at the college you are considering. Only they can tell you the truth about your situation. I was an Admissions Counselor for a major state school with 28,000 students and now I am a Financial Aid Counselor at a small private Christian school. I can tell you first hand that I have seen the problems these companies create. They do not have your child's best interest in mind. The National Association of College Admissions Counselors is monitoring them, countless families have filed suit against them and the Federal Trade Commission has been and still is involved. You just don't need these problems. Sending your son or daughter to college is hard enough. I wish I could tell you that there would be grants and scholarships for every student to go to college for free. That is just not the truth. Please contact your school's financial aid office. If you are looking for reputable information check the following websites, finaid.org, www.fafsa.ed.gov, www.ed.gov and your school's financial aid website.
