Our Mission

END THE STUDENT DEBT CRISIS.

At College Aid Pro™ we know that families are overpaying for college and getting in over their heads with student loans every day. We believe that every student deserves to get a great education at a price that their family can afford. So we created software that demystifies financial aid and helps students find schools that will give them the most free money so they can graduate debt free and live richer lives!

By uniting our diverse professional backgrounds and expertise, our team strives to rectify the student loan crisis one family at a time.

Together, we make it our mission to ensure that every student has access to an affordable college education.
