Definition:
"CFP" stands for Certified Financial Planner and falls under the jurisdiction of the Certified Financial Planning Board of Standards.
"Certified Financial Planner" is one of the many designations that you may encounter as you seek out help planning and investing for college.
The CFP mark is arguably one of the hardest designations to earn within the financial planning and investment professions, requiring completion of an approved education program, passing a comprehensive exam, and three years professional experience.
While all CFP's will have a working knowledge of planning and saving for college, the CFP curriculum does not cover the financial aid process in depth.
Alternate Spellings: C.F.P.
