College List -
We interview our students to discover everything
they dream about in their college. Then we
survey the colleges that match each student’s
criteria and find colleges that are suitable for
both the student and their parents. We set up a
game plan to do everything possible to help our
young people achieve their college goals! The
student will know what is expected of them in
order to go to the top college of their choice.
-
ACT/SAT Preparation -
Good test scores are very important for college
admission & merit based scholarship competition.
One or two more points on the ACT could mean
thousands of dollars in extra scholarship funds.
We test all of our students to see what they
would currently score on both tests. Comparing
their score to their college list emphasizes to
the students the importance of working to
increase their score.
-
Applications/Essays -
We use software and online forms to complete the
applications for most of the colleges in the
country.
College essays are read and proofed for errors
in punctuation and grammar. Well-written essays
are especially helpful for a student to be
accepted by their top college.
-
College Resume -
The student’s resume can be the competitive edge
when it comes to merit based scholarships. Great
college resumes contain a combination of
leadership positions, advanced or AP classes,
and lots of volunteer activities. We help all of
our students develop a well-rounded,
individualized resume.
We participate in 10-14 volunteer activities
throughout the year with our students. What a
great way to serve our communities!
-
Financial Aid Forms -
Many people say that the FAFSA and Profile Forms
are harder to complete than taxes! Need we say
more? Our numbers show that 90% of people who
complete the form themselves do it wrong! We
complete the form for your family. Even if you
make an above average income you might still be
eligible for financial aid. We offer many
helpful hints that help lower your overall
Expected Family Contribution (EFC).
-
Outside Scholarships
-
Outside scholarships are a very unpredictable
way to receive money but we have had many
students who win these types of scholarships
every year. We start with the local and state
level scholarships that the students have the
best shot of winning. We also look at the
students’ gifts or talents and use those to
their advantage.
-
Deadlines -
Missing the deadlines is truly one of the main
reasons why some students don’t receive
financial aid.
We help our clients list their deadlines at the
beginning of the senior year. Through our
guidance our students know the application and
merit based scholarship deadlines.
-
Grades -
We help support the students in their grades.
Thanks to the KEES program in Kentucky, students
now get paid for good grades and ACT scores if
they attend a Kentucky college. By supporting
parents and coaching students in this area we
can help a student receive an extra $300-$1000
dollars over four years.
-
Tuition Cost Game Plan -
How do I pay for college? What are my options?
These are the questions that we hear the most!
We go through financial planning with the
parents and set up a game plan based on what
they can and cannot afford. We help explain this
to the student, who may have their heart set on
a college that Mom and Dad can’t afford.
