Expert College Planning and Funding Strategies — for Every Family, at Every Stage
College is more expensive, more competitive, and more confusing than ever. Genesis College Strategies has helped families across the country maximize financial aid and pay less for college since 2010.
We have programs starting as early as first grade. The earlier you start, the more money you save.
And if your financial advisor told you to open a 529 and call it a college plan — there's a good chance that's not the whole story. Real college financial strategy goes much deeper, and most families never get it.
Why Families Choose Genesis College Strategies
-
We Start Where Others Don't
Most college planners wait until junior year. We work with families starting as early as first grade, because the financial moves that matter most happen years before your student ever sets foot on a campus. -
We Go Way Beyond the 529
A savings account isn't a college strategy. We analyze your complete financial picture — taxes, cash flow, retirement, and aid eligibility — and build a real plan around all of it. -
We Reduce What You Actually Pay
We calculate your Student Aid Index, identify legal ways to reduce it, evaluate every financial aid award letter, and negotiate when offers fall short. Most families leave significant money on the table. We don't let that happen. -
Financial Strategy Is Our Focus. It's Been That Way Since 2010Since 2010, Greg Stevens has focused exclusively on the financial side of college — FAFSA and CSS Profile optimization, asset positioning, income timing, and reducing what families actually pay. That focus is why families and partners trust the numbers we bring to the table.
Need help on the admissions side too? Just ask — Greg can point you toward the right people for that. -
