College ListsWe 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 PreparationGood 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 and EssaysWe 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 ResumeThe 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 FormsMany 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 ScholarshipsOutside 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. DeadlinesMissing 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. GradesWe 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 PlanHow 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.
