College Planning

Our College Planning Division provides many services to help you and your child plan for college. Some of our services include:

  • A Personal Planner filled with important information.
  • Review of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), to determine accuracy and thoroughness.
  • A scholarship search, utilizing a rapid on-line service to determine all the scholarships that your student matches, for possible awards.
  • The College/Career Exploration will assist the student in deciding on the appropriate college, based on specific needs and desires of the student.
  • Assistance in locating grants and loans.
  • An 800 number Hot Line that accesses a financial aid counselor.
  • A conditional Loan Commitment to provide loans for up to the cost of education.
    (ISM does not make loans or promise loans on behalf of the lender)

Many people think that high school guidance counselors do or should provide these educational services; however, in many cases the high school guidance counselor is overloaded and cannot provide much service or assistance. The guidance counselor can only attempt to help while the student is in high school, and not after graduation. This plan will provide continuous service to you long after high school graduation, through the entire college experience.

This service is available exclusively to you and your family for a one time fee per student. When compared to the fees charged by many private educational services, the great value of this service is clear.


The College Planning program is a benefit of the American Associations of Government and Private Employees, and is offered exclusively to Association members.
