The presenters are higher education experts from My College Planning Team, which helps families – especially middle-income families – find ways to pay for their child’s best-fit college.

My College Planning Team was founded by Jack Schacht, a Chicago area businessman, who saw the need for middle-income families to learn cost-saving strategies. “I and my team of more than 50 professionals are committed to providing information and expertise to families struggling to pay for college,” he said.

Here are some samples of upcoming workshops:

It will also review the college search, selection and admissions process.

“Sophomore Success: Post-secondary Planning for 10th Grade Families,” which will guide families through the essential steps students can take during their sophomore year to explore post-secondary pathways, optimize college admission, and find their best college fit.
