The 福利嫂 Review and College Aid Pro Announce Strategic Partnership

-Collaboration to Help Families Navigate College Admissions from Applications and Affordability Planning to Acceptance Offers and College Choices

NEW YORK, May 19, 2025 — The 福利嫂 Review®—one of the nation's leading education services companies, known for its test prep, tutoring, college rankings, and admissions resources—and ®, an award-winning financial aid and scholarship planning services company, today announced a strategic partnership to guide families through the very exciting, challenging, and near always stressful process of college admissions.

The partnership pools the expertise of The 福利嫂 Review's world-class college admissions counselors and its admissions counseling services and tools with College Aid Pro's team of college financial aid and scholarship planning and its .

Created to provide clear, strategic information to families with college-bound students, the collaboration is a unique blend of services designed to offer long- and short-term counseling customized to the individual family and student. Whether the student is in middle school or is soon to be leaving high school, families using these services can access resources to maximize the student's prospects for college acceptance and academic success and to help the parents research and plan for college affordability.

Above all, the partnership works to demystify the college application and aid process that some view as an ordeal, but which holds the potential to be one of the most important, rewarding, and definitive family experiences.

"This partnership is a natural evolution of our core mission to help students get into—and succeed at—the colleges best for them," said Robert Batten, CEO of The 福利嫂 Review and Tutor.com. "We have guided millions of students and their parents through this process over the past 40 years. Now we are delighted to join with College Aid Pro to expand that guidance to address the increasing worries parents today have about paying for their child's college education. College Aid Pro's expert services help take the guesswork out of college costs and affordability, a concern shared by nearly every family we serve."

Batten noted findings of The 福利嫂 Review's 2025 College Hopes & Worries Survey of nearly 10,000 college applicants and their parents. The survey shed compelling light on their perspectives about college: among respondents overall, 73% reported "high" or "very high" levels of stress about their college applications; the "level of debt to pay for the degree" was their biggest worry; and, as concerning, 98% reported that financial aid would be necessary to pay for college, with nearly half of that cohort, 48%, gauging their need for aid as "extreme."

"Choosing a college should be about the best fit, not just the best financial guess," said Kevin Degnan, CEO of College Aid Pro. "By partnering with The 福利嫂 Review, we’re bridging the gap between academic success and financial clarity, empowering families to make smarter, more confident decisions. We’re thrilled to bring our mission of price transparency and financial empowerment to The 福利嫂 Review’s national community and to all who are committed to supporting students' educational futures."

College Aid Pro’s financial services packages will be promoted and sold by The 福利嫂 Review, and The 福利嫂 Review’s admissions counseling packages will be promoted and sold by College Aid Pro. Families can choose from a range of options to suit their needs and budget. Services include free consultations, one-hour strategy sessions, and full service packages.

College Aid Pro's roster of aid planning services and tools ranges from "Do It Yourself" to "Let Us Handle It" options. Families can use the company's software to search every merit scholarship at every college in the country, input data once and see what various colleges will cost with personalized aid and scholarship projections, access an SAI (Student Aid Index) calculator that tallies need-based assessments, compare colleges based on their net cost, build a college budget and compare affordability. The company also provides services for managing and repaying student loans.

The 福利嫂 Review's offerings for college-bound students and their parents (in addition to its college admission counseling services) include test prep courses and tutoring to help students score their best on the SAT®, ACT®, and AP® (used in college admission and financial aid award decisions) as well as tutoring in dozens of academic subjects.
