Our mission is to provide families of college bound students the information and guidance needed in planning for admissions and funding higher education. Our goal is to reduce many of the big stumbling blocks that get in the way of earning a college degree and starting off on the right foot toward a successful career.
We go above and beyond a typical “financial aid night” and discuss real strategies to help students make the right school choice and figure out how to pay for it. Our programs reveal that there is so much more to financial aid than filling out forms.
There are so many barriers preventing student achievement and recent statistics are astounding. Of every 100 ninth-graders in this country:
- 69 graduate from high school on time
- 38 enter college directly after high school
- 28 remain enrolled after their second year in college
- 20 – yes, only 20 – graduate from college within 6 years*
