The American College
Planning Foundation





“Committed to providing educational programs and resources to
college-bound students and their families, in the communities we serve.”



About the ACPF



The American College Planning Foundation (ACPF) was established to serve as an educational resource on college issues, including selection, funding, and admission strategies, to make college an affordable reality for students and their families.


The ACPF is a charitable project of United Charitable Programs,, and therefore shares a nonprofit 501(c)(3), 509(a)(1) federal tax status. Our Federal Tax ID # is 65-0970090 for your reference.



Regional Managers



Miles & Letha Costin joined the ACPF as Piedmont Regional Directors in 2006. Since then, they've been educating families on the “ins and outs” of College Admissions and Funding.


“Our goal is to help people become more informed of the many strategies that may help reduce and control the cost of college. To achieve this goal, we have implemented several programs that directly contribute to overall awareness for students and their families."



What We Do



The ACPF conducts free college planning and information classes to help students and parents understand the college selection, admission and funding process - including the financial aid system.


Each high school family that attends an informational presentation is offered a free in-office consultation. This allows us to provide individual guidance in the college fit and selection process.
