Real College Financial Strategy — Plus Everything Your Student Needs to Get In
The Emerald Package is built for families who want a complete, expert-guided college strategy — covering both the financial and admissions sides — without the full concierge experience of our Platinum+ program.
You get everything you need to maximize financial aid, reduce what your family actually pays, and guide your student through the admissions process with confidence. And with unlimited financial advisory consultations for the life of the plan, you'll never be left to figure it out on your own.
Is the Emerald Package Right for Your Family?
-
You Want Real Financial Strategy — Not Just a 529If your current "college plan" is a savings account, you're missing the most important piece. The Emerald Package includes a full financial strategy — SAI calculation, asset repositioning, FAFSA and CSS Profile support, award letter evaluation, and negotiation — plus unlimited consultations to guide you through all of it.
-
You Want Expert Admissions Guidance Without Full Concierge ServiceYour student gets a personalized assessment, college search, SAT/ACT prep access, scholarship search, interview prep, and professional written feedback — everything needed to navigate admissions with confidence. And for families who want more hands-on support, monthly one-on-one sessions with a POM College Consulting counselor are available for just $75/month.
-
You Want to Pay Less — and Know Exactly How to Do ItWe calculate your Student Aid Index, identify legal ways to reduce it, evaluate every award letter your student receives, and provide negotiation templates when offers fall short. Most families leave significant money on the table. We make sure you don't.
-
You Want On-Demand Resources at Your FingertipsThe Emerald Package includes all of our on-demand workshops covering financial aid, FAFSA, college funding strategies, the application process, and more — plus unlimited access to MyTuitionScore, our proprietary tool that shows exactly how your family will look to financial aid offices at every college in the U.S.
Most Families Are Flying Blind. You Don't Have To.
The average family spends over $100,000 sending one child to college. Most of them never had anyone calculate their Student Aid Index, review their financial picture, or evaluate whether their award letters were fair. The Emerald Package changes that.
