Client success stories
Families we've helped
"Manuel did more than just guide me through the college application process. He informed me and my family of the best financial options available to us. I received over $15,000 in scholarships and grants to attend UC Berkeley."
"Thanks to Manuel, we are going to be able to pay for our kids' college with the budget that we had in mind, and you showed us how to pay off our home 10 years earlier while still paying for college."
"We were concerned about the cost of college for my daughter Jasmine. By using Manuel's services our family contribution went down from $16,542 to $10,047. We saved over $6,495 per year — sending her to UC Davis for 4 years but really only paying for 3."
"Manuel did a fabulous job helping my daughter get to University of Pacific Pharmacy program."
"Taking the FEAR out of the college process."
"Got accepted into a fancy private college for less than a CSU and UC."
"Manuel was knowledgeable, a good listener and genuinely interested in helping us save money on college tuition. He offered routes beyond merit scholarships that will reduce our expenses. We are grateful he was recommended to us."
"Coming from a middle income class family I didn't think there was any way my children would receive any kind of financial aid, but with Manuel's help we were able to receive over $21k in financial aid. Over the span of 4 years, this would equate to over $80k in aid! Manuel's expertise of what colleges were looking for was incredible. With both kids he has helped me save over $160K in college tuition. My eldest son completed his 1st year at the University of Portland and said it was the best decision of his life. I would have never imagined my kids would be able to attend a private college. If you have the opportunity to work with Manuel and his team, I highly recommend their services — and don't wait until your child is a senior!"
"I attended Manuel's free college planning seminar and enjoyed it so much I invited friends and attended a second session with my sophomore and freshman. What makes Manny's approach so successful is his ability to get through to each student, understanding their strengths and weaknesses. He has a no-nonsense approach, keeping open lines of communication with parent and student — I was always kept in the loop. With Manny's help, my oldest is attending his dream school in the fall, all while making it very affordable. I've got another senior currently working with College Planning ABC and my daughter will also be under Manny's guidance soon. College Planning ABC made college affordable for my son and I."
"My college planning experience with Manny was absolutely wonderful! He is an EXPERT in the financial aspect of college planning and also about the college application process and all its parts. He walked us through our options with pros and cons — I really appreciated how clear he was in explaining everything. We are so grateful to Manuel and his team for making this possible. I look forward to working with him again for my other children. I highly recommend Manuel and his team at College Planning ABC!"
