The Smartest Investment in Your Child's College Future
College planning done right means more than picking a school. It means having a complete strategy in place years before tuition bills arrive — covering both admissions and finances, together, at a depth most families never experience.
We have programs for families with children as young as first grade. The earlier you start, the more options — and savings — you'll have.
Who We Help
-
1st – 8th GradeLock in services now and pay over time at 0% interest. The earlier you enroll, the more time you have to position your family's finances for maximum aid eligibility. Don't wait until high school — the financial moves that matter most happen years before freshman year.
-
Freshman Year — When Asset Protection Actually BeginsMost families don't realize it, but the financial moves that reduce your Student Aid Index need to happen in freshman year — because of how the FAFSA looks back at your finances. This rule didn't exist when mom and dad were in college, so most families miss it entirely. By junior or senior year, many of those options are simply gone.
-
Sophomore YearQuarterly one-on-one sessions begin, college and career interests are assessed, and your full financial positioning strategy is underway — well before the FAFSA window opens.
-
Junior YearMonthly sessions, SAT/ACT prep, college list refinement, SAI calculation, and specific legal recommendations to reduce what your family will owe. This is where real money is saved.
-
Senior YearBi-weekly sessions through application completion, FAFSA and CSS submission, award letter evaluation, and negotiation. We're with you until the right school at the right price is confirmed.
A 529 Plan Is Not a College Financial Strategy
Most financial advisors open a 529 and call it a college plan. In many cases that's the wrong move — or at best, an incomplete one. True college financial strategy goes far deeper, and almost no one is offering it.
| ✕ What Most Financial Advisors Do | ✓ What Genesis College Strategies Does |
|---|---|
| Open a 529 and call it a college plan | Full financial analysis across college, taxes, cash flow, and retirement — together |
| Never examine your Student Aid Index | Calculate your SAI and make specific, legal recommendations to reduce it |
| No analysis of how your assets impact financial aid | Strategically reposition assets before filing to maximize aid eligibility |
| Ignore FAFSA and CSS Profile entirely | Complete and submit your FAFSA and CSS Profile — then monitor and adjust |
| Never review your award letters | Professionally evaluate every award letter and negotiate when offers fall short |
| No coordination with your student's admissions process | College selection coordinated with financial strategy to maximize aid eligibility |
| One product, no ongoing support | Unlimited consultations with a dedicated college funding expert throughout the process |

"I have bragged about y'all to everyone! It is so surprising to me how y'all have kept us rolling at a completely stress free momentum. As I see emails come across from her high school, I'm blown away that we are not only weeks ahead of them — but months! As stressful as the senior year is, we can enjoy it more because of POM!"
"POM has been amazing for us throughout our son's college application process. They made the process simple and easy, answering any questions we had regarding the complex topic that is paying for college. Through POM's advice and guidance, my son was able to earn thousands of dollars in scholarships and financial aid at several different institutions. Without their help, we would not have been able to take advantage of the plethora of programs available for students such as our son."
"As a single mom you always want the best for your children. This program became the difference between my daughter not attending college to getting thousands of dollars in scholarships. Navigating college applications, financial applications, and just accepting awards is daunting. This program made my daughter's dream a reality."
