BUILD A STRATEGIC COLLEGE LIST
We focus on colleges that not only fit your student’s goals but are also more likely to offer significant scholarships. We also prioritize schools with a strong return on investment to maximize future career value. We empower your family with all the information to pick the right schoolout of all the offers.
NEGOTIATE FOR MORE AWARDS
Schools often under-award students and many families will settle for it. We can evaluate if your student was under-award and file an appeal, securing more funding when possible. This could mean the difference of tens of thousands of dollars.
