The Solomon Employee Benefits Program
Solomon Admissions Consulting, the largest college admissions consulting firm in the nation, pools the knowledge and resources of the largest team in the country of over 100 former college admissions and financial aid officers. The benefit we offer employees of our corporate partners is designed to work with students from as early as elementary school, through middle school and high school, and up until adult education. The help we provide is on navigating the challenging college admissions process, as well as preparing the best long-term plan to pay for college.
Having worked with thousands of parents on college admissions and financial aid consulting, we understand how stressful the process can be on your employees’ time and mental health. The national high school student to guidance counselor ratio is 482 to 1, and we often see parents spending hundreds of hours during application season on helping their children with school and college and financial aid applications. Our goal is to help your employees navigate the admissions process with maximum knowledge, minimal stress and effective use of time.
What Sets Us Apart?
Why work with Solomon Admissions Consulting as opposed to any of the competing firms? Here are some key differentiators:
About the program
Meet our Admissions Consultants
Led by two corporate attorneys, graduates of Georgetown Law, our team of Former College Admissions Officers provides the best personalized, strategic undergraduate and graduate school admissions advice to empower each applicant to achieve peak performance. Our college admission consultants have a combined 151 years of experience as admission officers at college admissions offices and have reviewed a combined total of over 168,000 college applications.
Financial Aid Consulting
Our financial aid consultants, who are all former financial aid officers at universities, will work with your employees to calculate their Expected Family Contribution (EFC). They will advise your employees on opening tax-advantaged college savings accounts such as the 529 Plan. They will also advise your employees on filling out the FAFSA for federal student aid and the CSS Profile, if necessary, for institutional, need-based aid. They will advise your employees on how to successfully appeal their financial aid award if the award is insufficient.
Our consultants will advise your employees on a comprehensive list of merit scholarships at universities in which their children or they themselves may be interested. Our students routinely earn full-tuition merit scholarships such as the AB Duke Scholarship, the Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholarship and the Trustee Scholarship at USC. They will also help your employees identify private scholarships in the community for which they or their children may be competitive.
