What does CAPlus provide?

In 2004, CAPlus developed a first-of-a-kind database of 3000 US college endowments and detailed scholarship histories. Then we assembled a team of experts in our Rochester headquarters who understand which colleges compete with one another on similar programs, and how deep they can go to gain your business. CAPlus is the only company in the nation with this capability. Based on this we:

• Help you find colleges that best fit your student's needs.
• Compare colleges by analyzing data from financial aid packages from our database.
• Provide custom reports on suggested colleges for you to visit, and predict their financial aid offers.
• Maximize endowment-based scholarships and grants with competitive positioning and negotiation, the first year and every year through degree completion.  Then grad school, med school, and law school may be added.
• Assist you in filing your FAFSA and CSS correctly (or coach you how to abstain filing if income is higher).  We will integrate need-based aid whenever appropriate but our special capability is to leverage non-need based money from the institution.
• Full Access to our Rochester headquarters team of college experts.
• Specialized Sports programs for Division 2 & 3 schools.
• Act as a third party in family discussions to help take some of the emotion out of the college decision-making process.
• Provide resources for third party scholarships.
• Optimize loans when needed through our special loan optimizing service (analogous to Lending Tree)
• Send you reminders to keep you on track for key dates so you don’t miss deadlines.
• Provide you with our bimonthly newsletter, which contains information on important dates, scholarship and grant opportunities, and more from our experts.

    Our average return on investment for our 1800 clients is approximately 10x, with some much higher.  Subsequent students in the family are half-price which doubles this return.   This is truly a no-risk, all gain opportunity.

     

    We are also in demand to conduct lunch & learn workshops at local companies, can hold joint outreach events to expand your client base, or run a fund-raising event to generate proceeds for your non-profit.  Please call to learn more.

     

    I look forward to seeing how we can help you and your family.   Please call or email me for a 10 minute overview specific to your students.
