Even if you receive a 25% Financial Aid Package, you are still looking at
$60,000, $96,000, $120,000, $180,000 after 4 year. Keep in mind, most students are taking 5 years to graduate.
Step 1 - Professional Student Profile
Professional Student Profile
The CPI Student Profile identifies the student with the college's Financial Aid Officer (FAO), Admissions Officer (AO), and the college coaches if the student wishes to play a sport.
The information on the profile gives each department of the college all of the necessary facts to begin the recruiting and admission process.
Each college receiving this profile will respond by contacting the student either by postage mail, phone call and/or email.
All coaches who show an interest will contact you via their coaching staff or personally. This is when you will know which coaches' recruiting lists the student-athlete is on and which coaches may request more information.
Every student and family working with CPI, starts by filling out the student questionnaire. With this information, CPI generates your professional profile. All information provided to CPI is verified. This is a vital step in promoting and exposing your talents and skills to the colleges who entertain your desire to attend their school. Your personality, desire, enthusiasm, involvement in extra-curricular activities, etc. will be the key component to scholarships and financial aid.
The CPI athletic and academic profiles has years of proven success on the importance of exposure to FAO's, AO's and college coaches.
Step 2 - Student College Matching
Student College Matching
Each CPI college bound student is electronically matched to at least thirty colleges and or universities in five states of the student's choice.
The CPI Match is based on the information provided by your CPI Student Questionnaire. This is a vital part of our program. It will truly match you, the student , to the right colleges and universities that are right for you and what you want for your future.
Each student will be matched according to majors - (3 choices), GPA, SAT & ACT scores, how far away from home, 5 states of their choice, religious affiliation, large, medium or small school, cost, etc.
Step 3 - College Letters
College Letters
All the colleges and universities matched to the student will receive a letter, along with the student profile requesting information on the following: majors offered, application, financial aid, scholarships, grants, employment, admission requirements, student surveys, cost of admission and a contact person at the colleges and/or universities.
ACADEMIC STUDENTS have their profile and letter along with any recommendation letters sent to the financial aid officer.
