We love the CMG! We worked with Kurt, Andrea, Brannon and Jenna. When we started with them with our oldest of two sons, we were not sure what services they could provide for us and what to expect in the college admissions and financial aid process. They gave us great comfort and insight into the minds of admissions and financial aid counselors. They guided us through both aspects of this huge undertaking with patience and skill. In addition, they handled the laboring oar on the FAFSA and the CSS profile each year. They even reviewed and offered help on the essays, which improved them significantly. When it came time to review and negotiate financial aid offers (which is their main reason for being) they were very responsive and helpful too. Ultimately, both of our boys enrolled in Texas state universities, and so our financial aid awards and needs were not great. But they gave us options we might not have had without them. We highly recommend the CMG to anyone strongly considering applying to private colleges and universities who need financial aid to make that feasible for them.

Love love love working with Mr. Brannon Lloyd! With this excellent resource I feel confident in receiving college aid and achieving my goals throughout my college years and beyond. I am BEYOND grateful for this amazing group of people! The staff and Mr. Lloyd are always very kind and welcoming. This company is definitely filled with a group of people who are experts in finding you money for college. I highly recommend this awesome resource. Thanks to The College Money Guys, I am saving the total regular tuition at the college I will be attending Fall of 2015! Thank you thank you thank you!

The College Money Guys definitely saved us money in ways we would never have thought of. A friendly team who keep their eyes on the ball throughout the application process. Thanks.

These guys are very practical, resourceful and have a solid pulse on how college admissions and college life is today. You leave feeling in control of your kids college financing and about your personal finances as a whole.Very innovative ideas are offered about how to make your situation better and your goals realized. Excellent resource to have. I highly recommend them, and Kurt in particular.

The help I received from the College Money Guys is undeniably one of the main factors towards my acceptance to the colleges I wanted to go to and towards the scholarship-winning essays that I was able to write. These are some of the best minds with first-hand experience regarding the admissions process and I cannot thank them enough for working with me.

The college application process has become so complex but TCMG helped us navigate it successfully. The workshops, one-on-one coaching, practice interviews, etc all helped our daughter secure a wonderful spot in college, along with a number of scholarships! We highly recommend TCMG.

Ive known Brannon and the College Money Guys for for 2 years now. I have experienced tons of integrity, creativity, resourcefulness and expertise. I highly recommend turning to The College Money Guys for financial savvy and the resources to help your kids get the learning and education they need. I hear on NPR constantly the prohibitive cost of college that is hindering our children from higher education. And they cant get great jobs unless they have that higher learning and a degree under their belts. The College Money guys can make the dream of financial aid and securing a great learning experience for your kids a reality. Dont walk, RUN!

As the parents of four daughters, we knew that we would need help planning and paying for their college education. When a neighbor told us about The College Money Guys, we went to one of their info sessions at Pearland’s Public Library. We were hooked by what they showed us and have been their clients for more than 7 years.At this point TCMG has helped us with tens of thousands of dollars in cost savings/avoidance (our first daughter will graduate college this year); by the time everyone has finished her education, we expect the savings to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars range.Kurt & Andrea have provided patient, consistent, insightful and effective guidance and counsel to our family for many years. And Brannon is an absolute treasure; his wisdom, balance, perspective, humor and proofreading have been invaluable in our quest for maximizing our daughters’ educational opportunities while minimizing the impact on our family’s resources.We enthusiastically and unreservedly recommend TCMG to anyone thinking of sending a child (or children!) to college.Regina & Paul Flynn

Having the College Money Guys in our corner during the college years has proven to be priceless over and over again. Their insight, advice and expertise provides peace of mind in one of the most stressful seasons in a familys life.

Honestly we wouldnt even be looking at private universities or getting large scholarship offers from private universities if not for Brannon and the College Money team. The admissions process is so crazy these days Im glad these guys are here to help. And they do help, they are very passionate about getting your kid into college and you not exhausting your retirement to do so!

They offered us a 100% Risk Free Money Back Guarantee if we didnt save at least twice our enrollment fee. They didnt save us any money and would not give us our enrollment fee back. Brannon Lloyd lied to me for several months then he quit taking or returning my calls. I think he is very sleazy and unethical. Look online -- there are other people that he has done the same thing to. Be very careful before agreeing to do business with him.

Our first three meetings have been extraordinary. Kurt is efficient, intelligent, and very knowledgable. Information given already is setting our son up for success. Looking forward to the rest of the process.

My husband and I werent sure about hiring someone to help us with the whole financial aid thing because we were sure we wouldnt qualify for anything. Thank God we did!!! Our Daughter received over 100,000 in scholarships from USC and our son, who starts this fall, will be going to Trinity for less money than he could have gone to UT. If youre not sure about whether you need help; you do! Not hiring Kurt and The College Money Guys would have been a huge mistake. We are so grateful for the help they gave us from forms to scholarships to essays and negotiations. Thank you TCMG!!!!

Kurt and the CMG provided exceptional service and advice through every step of the college application process for our family. Thanks to the CMG and the tools and advice they provided, our children received scholarships to schools we never would have considered due the cost. The schools are a great fit and their futures are bright! Thanks CMG!

Kurt, Brannon, and Andrea are the best. They helped us at every step of the process, from the assessments, the college essay, the webinars which are super-useful, and a detailed dissection of all my financial options. In fact, I got a HELOC because of their college related financial advice and that meant I had to get flood insurance on my home, which was a godsend when Harvey happened. I was relieved I listened to Kurt. I would call them and they would return calls in 24 hours. Sometimes, I would come up with some questions/ideas and they would deliberate among themselves before getting back to me (because they wanted to arrive at a consensus before answering me). I remember one time when Kurt was wrong about a FAFSA related issue that I pointed out to him. Andrea corrected him, and Kurt readily admitted his mistake. That was pretty honest of him! They are also always open to ideas that the parents/student might come up with, so very open, flexible people. Brannon would sit down with me while I was waiting on Kurt and I would pick up some nuggets of wisdom about meal plans, meal plan exemptions and loans, all while I was waiting. Andrea is wiser far beyond her years, and knows her financial stuff forwards and backwards. (Incidentally, Kurt is one of the most earnest joke tellers I know and boy, he works so hard to sell every one, often more than once. The effort is worth the laugh. Sometimes, lightning strikes and he stumbles upon a funny one!!).Best college money advisors, hands down. The financial aid my student got was more than I would have imagined. Worth every cent.

Brannon and his team are awesome! Our son is graduating from Baylor and without their help, that would have been next to impossible. Thank you!

We worked with The College Money Guys for the last two and a half years of our daughters high school career. What a difference they made! There are so many things about the college process that you dont know that you dont know and they are masters are knowing these things. Between applying for numerous schools, test advising, test prep, essays, applications, FASFAs, scholarships, volunteerism and everything else, there are so many things to know. Their invaluable insight and advice made all the difference. The monthly webinars are insightful and helpful. Working with Brannon and everyone at the TCMG was interesting and pleasant. The end result is our college-freshman daughter is incredibly happy and were not paying a lot of money! We know that working with The College Money Guys made all the difference in the world. Thanks, Brannon. You guys are the best!!

The College Money Guys not only have saved us around $30k in expenses, they also cared enough about us to help us find the right college for each of our first two kids, and number three is getting close. They give a lot of very good advice that have helped our boys with SATs & ACTs, and theyve conducted practice sessions to get our boys comfortable with college interviews. They conduct informative monthly teleconferences. They help with the gawdawful paperwork of applying to the colleges, including giving advice on the essays, and they help immensely with the FAFSA and other financial aid paperwork. Brannon & the rest of the group can answer any question you have, and if they cant talk at the moment, theyre aces at returning phone calls and responding to emails.Bottom line: My wife and I have found that getting into and paying for college isnt what it was in 1981, and to get into the college of your childs desire while trying to keep the expenses down, it is certainly worth it to have CMGs expertise and assistance working with you!

These guys really helped out my parents and myself to come to grips with the college education system here in the United States. The advice we received from them has really helped save us money and opened doors that we didnt even know existed.

My family did not see any benefit by hiring the college money guys. Unfortunately, it is too late for my child whatever the reason.
