Shifting perspective is often challenging. However, once the creative doors open, possibilities are endless. Attending higher educational institutions is more expensive than ever before and it is time to think "outside the box." Regardless of your financial status, no one looks for a bad investment. Education is an investment of time, money and energy. The options for higher education are often underrepresented, quite infinite, and rather customizable.
Hi, I'm Julie Balogh.
I am a mom of two teenagers, a professional educational consultant, and owner of PlanHigherEd.com and Julie Balogh LLC. As a former college admissions counselor who keeps a finger on the pulse of higher ed, my joy and my calling is to help people plan out the logistics of reaching educational goals. With a deep affinity for return on investment, I tend to view planning higher ed as a strategic game of chess rather than a right of passage.
I enjoy helping families navigate countless higher education options, an alphabet of acronyms, and the calendar of tasks along the way. As you embark on what may be the largest investment of your life, please allow me to help make it a bit more manageable.
For instance, did you know that you do not need a bachelor's degree to be a commercial airline pilot, that there are specific schools for electrical linemen, that remote schooling did not end with lock-down, and that if you didn't finish your degree a decade ago, you still can? What if you were told you that a private college could actually end up costing you substantially less than a state school or that attending an English-taught bachelor's program in Europe could be more affordable than college in the United States - would you be intrigued?
Educational options are endless, but the ones with a good return on investment (ROI) might require a different perspective, and a bit of strategic planning. Let us help you plan your higher ed - so you can relax a bit during the process and enjoy the journey! Besides, isn't your time best invested elsewhere rather than figuring out the higher ed matrix that we have already mastered?
Education is power, right? However, is there a way to obtain higher education while also maintaining financial responsibility? The short answer is "YES!" Knowing the options is our expertise and having over 20 years of experience and research is what sets us apart. The college sticker price is rarely the bottom line. From high school students to non-traditional applicants, Plan Higher Ed can be your educational compass, money-saver, and wealth creator.
