Zachary Austin

College Planning Professional

Zachary is a College Funding Professional who works with students and parents to navigate financial aid, admissions, and college funding. With a background in finance, he helps families evaluate their options with both the immediate cost of college and their long-term financial goals in mind. His goal is to help families identify colleges that provide the right academic, social, and financial fit while avoiding unnecessary financial risk.

A recent graduate of Trinity University with a bachelor’s degree in finance, Zachary brings a particularly relevant perspective to his work with families. During his own college search, he used the resources and strategies Elite Collegiate Planning offers to evaluate his options and determine which school was right for him. That experience gave him firsthand insight into the decisions students and parents face throughout the college planning process and the services available to make those decisions with confidence. His experience with ECP ultimately inspired him to join our team to help other families navigate the college process successfully.

While attending Trinity University, Zachary was a member of the men’s basketball team. He now resides in Dallas, Texas. Outside of work, he enjoys running, golfing, and being involved with his church.
