Minimize Student Debt to Pursue God's Purpose

Countering the student debt crisis for your family, church, or school

Every Student Sent understands the importance of minimal student debt and the right career in the lifelong success of your students.  ESS has partnered with College Assistance Plus (CAP) to serve families with this expertise due to their strong faith alignment and depth of experience and success over the past 21 years.  Due to CAP's commitment to Christian causes, they have provided ESS with special rates for our families. 

The CAP story:  Paul Celuch, had been teaching Crown Financial Ministries classes as a result of his friendship with Crown Founder, Larry Burkett. After he saw the devastation runaway debt has on young people and marriages.  

We are taking the "Get a Degree, not Debt" movement to the nation with Zoom strategy sessions for individual families, churches, and schools, and customized services for families.

Experience of a Parent and Financial Advisor  
Having been in the financial services career for nearly 30 years, I have had a myriad of clients have kids head off to college. The cost is significant and quite often hard to navigate to find the right school for kids can be big expense. Setting aside the cost of college, choosing the right school with the right degree/curriculum can be a challenge for many parents and students today. These families have been very thankful for my introduction to NextLead  I love how they partner with families all the way from high school to college and graduate school to help students find the right career and major, the right colleges, and minimize student debt by negotiating tuition and employing many other cost reduction strategies. I have been using them for my daughter and my soon-to-be High School Junior son. ~  George Allen, Oswego NY
