  • (1888PressRelease) October 28, 2016 - Roseland, New Jersey - Steven Sirot and David Slater, Co-Founders, College Benefits Research Group (CBRG), use a unique model to help families find the right "fit" for their child's college education financially, academically and socially. CBRG was recently interviewed by David Wolf, host of Small Biz America radio.

    Wolf asked the co-founders to explain why they decided to establish CBRG. They stated, "We saw there were financial planners who didn't understand the environment of college and we saw there were college planners that did everything for the college application process except the financial aspects. With the addition of Janet Loren, Partner, Certified Education Planner (CEP), we were able to tie the financial, academic and social pieces together."

    Sirot continues, "Additionally, the key to our success is we hit on the same things parents say all of the time to their kids, only those kids listen to us differently... We make it clear this is the student's experience and the family is there to guide them. We tell them, if they accrue debt, that debt will stay with them once they are finished with college. That debt will continue to affect what life will be like after college."

    Smallbiz America helps entrepreneurs and business people clearly communicate who they are and what they stand for.

    College Benefits Research Group (CBRG) is a college planning organization with a unique model for working with families to find the right "fit" for their child not only financially, but academically and socially as well. Their three prong model in the college planning arena is innovative and effective in order to develop a college game plan that works for everyone. CBRG has appeared in print and broadcast media outlets.

    Co-founded by Steven Sirot and David N. Slater and joined by their partner, Certified Educational Planner (CEP), Janet Loren, CBRG demonstrates how a private and/or public education is affordable and attainable and allows hard working families to hit a "home run" in finding the right school, academically, socially and financially, for their child. CBRG also assists with the filing of financial aid forms.

    "We are different from other college planning services in that we offer "harmonization" of financial, educational and social guidance for the entire family," says Steven Sirot. "We meet jointly with students and parents to develop a college game plan that works for everyone. Too often college students attend a school because their friends are there, or it is the so-called 'hot school' that is on everyone's radar, without any consideration of whether the school is right for them or the long-term effect it will have on family finances. We work hard with the entire family to let students know that going to college is a responsible decision that affects the whole family, and there are no 'free rides.' The student will be responsible for their academic success in college, which includes graduating in four years, and for paying back of some loans that may need to be taken out in their name."
