US College Planning is an independent educational consulting firm with offices in Chicago, Dallas, Indiana and New England. We realize that the process of applying to colleges, not to mention paying for it, can be incredibly stressful for parents and students alike. Our goal is to help students and families make the most of their college experience—we will handle the details so that you can relax and enjoy the journey.

Our specialists work tirelessly to help parents and students determine how to most efficiently and inexpensively pay for college. We provide counseling to help students and families to choose an educational program that is a good personal match.
