Mix & Match Services

Design a personalized plan for your student

Mix and match the support your student needs—whether they’re preparing for college, exploring other paths, or building their confidence for what’s next. We’re here to help them grow, plan, and thrive—no matter which direction they’re heading.


Choose (3) One-hour sessions!
We know that every student’s (and parent’s) journey looks different, so you have flexibility in how you use your 3 sessions. You can focus deeply on one area or spread them across multiple topics—whatever best supports your student’s needs.

For example, you can:

  1. Choose 1 session each for three different services to explore a range of topics.

  2. Pick 2 sessions for one service and 1 session for another for more balance.

  3. Use all 3 sessions for one service if you want extra support in a particular area.


  • College Major Exploration:
    A personalized interview and insight session where we take a closer look with students who might be deciding between a couple of major options (like which type of engineering to choose) or who want to clarify specific paths within a field.

It goes beyond gut feelings or guessing—it measures interests, preferences, and ideal work environments to connect your student’s natural traits to real-world careers and majors, including trade school paths and direct-to-work options. We provide certified interpretation to turn these insights into actionable next steps that align with their unique goals.

  • Navigating College Costs:
    An educational, jargon-free overview of financial-aid fundamentals that shows parents how FAFSA and CSS Profile calculate aid, uses net-price calculators to project true costs, and explains how to read and compare award letters—so they can make cost-smart college decisions with confidence.
    • Ideal for families who want to understand the aid process before completing forms or narrowing their college list.

  • Financial Guidance:
    A relaxed, one-on-one session with Steve Greig, CRPC™, that shows how to pay for college without derailing retirement. Steve reviews your 529s and other savings, projects how they’ll grow, and maps what each of your teen’s favorite colleges will really cost. You leave with a year-by-year funding timeline, easy rebalancing tips, and a clear order for using savings versus loans.
