Getting Started

Hi there! I'm SimpliSam, your personal college-planning guide. I'm here to help you navigate every step of the journey — from finding the right schools to figuring out financial aid.

To get started, could you tell me a little about your child? What grade are they in, and have you started thinking about what they might want to study?

My daughter is a junior. She's interested in engineering but we're worried about costs.

That's a great starting point! Engineering programs can vary a lot in cost depending on in-state vs out-of-state, public vs private, and available scholarships. Let's start by building your financial profile so I can give you accurate estimates. Then we'll look at schools that are a strong fit both academically and financially.
