College Process Support

The financial aid process can be confusing and is always changing, meanwhile the cost of college is ever increasing. Our goal is to help your family manage the cost of college by earning scholarships, capitalizing on federal, state, institutional, and organizational aid, and gaining a comprehensive understanding of financial aid resources. Our clients have earned hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships through the resources and skills we provide in our coaching sessions. Through our these sessions, we can help you navigate the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) process, understand your financial aid offers at various colleges, and search and apply for outside scholarships and grants that you qualify for so that you can earn additional money for college. We’ll help your student identify his accomplishments and communicate this effectively through essays, resumes, and interviews, and think of strategies to gain more pertinent experience. We provide essay writing guidance, resume creation support, and interview practice, so that your student doesn’t just find the scholarships to apply for, but she also earns them. Our goal is to make your student’s ideal college a manageable cost for your family!

Scholarship and Financial Aid Assistance

We know that there are many decisions when it comes to homeschooling through high school — we’ve lived it. So, we want to reassure you that you don’t have to do this alone. We can advise you on how to set up a transcript, what to have your student take in order to graduate and be prepared for college. We’re also here to answer your questions, such as whether or not dual enrollment is the right choice for your family and advice on standardized testing. In addition to this guidance, we can help your student improve his time management and study skills. Through our experience working with college freshman, we’ve seen that time management and study skills are often lacking, even in college. So, we are eager to help foster this skill in middle and high school students. We are here to guide you through the many decisions involved in homeschooling through high school, so that you can do so with confidence.
