Navigating the Process
Applying to college can be daunting. We are here to help students navigate this process whether it's 2-year or 4-year, public or private institutions. Below are some common generic online applications that support multiple schools.
FAFSA & Scholarships
Paying for College
Regardless of your ability to pay for college, we encourage all students to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The FAFSA helps colleges determine what your family's contribution will be towards the total cost of attending college, the amount and types of aid a student will receive, and qualify students for scholarships (both need based and academic based scholarships). We can help students and their families complete the FAFSA and help source scholarships as part of the college planning process.
