College-Based Consultations

Our College Advisors assist students and clients in positioning themselves for entry into a 2-4 year institution, traditional college or university. Consultation services involve the many steps associated with this process. Students are assisted with the completion of college, financial aid, and scholarship applications; including eligibility requirements, proofreading content, and attention to stipulated deadlines. Other areas of college consultation include the decision making process, tuition and housing deposits, orientation and class registration, scheduling placement exams, and avoiding summer melt.
