Julie Balogh M. Ed.

Hi, I'm Julie. I am a mom of two teenagers, wife of an educator, a professional school counselor, CEO of PlanHigherEd .com and owner of Julie Balogh LLC. As a former college admissions counselor who keeps a finger on the pulse of higher education, my joy and my calling is to help people plan out the logistics of reaching educational goals. With a deep affinity for positive 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, the calendar of tasks along the way, and how to best pay for it all. With over 20 years of experience, I've successfully served as a candidacy coach, college concierge, application facilitator, essay editor, motivator, and peace-keeper for more than 700 families. Allow me to offer my expertise to make your journey toward higher education more manageable and rewarding. Creating “guided-planners” for busy students who are looking to stay organized, informed, and less stressed out was not only a goal, but a help to my own children.
