IS COMPLICATED, TIME CONSUMING & EXPENSIVE!

With the amount of stress already in a student’s life, selecting a college or university is complicated, time consuming and expensive. Students simply arrive into college without the necessary preparation leading to only 31% of the United States receiving a bachelor's degree. Families are discouraged and overwhelmed when they find there is no real structure or process in place. Therefore, some students choose not to enroll or drop out of college.


With only 11% of parents saying they have saved enough for college and 95% of families missing out on millions in financial aid each year, they struggle with the potential burden of student loans to even consider going to college.

MANY FAMILIES ADMIT THEY STRUGGLED WITH COLLEGE PLANNING

Students are not succeeding in college due to a lack of money, but rather inappropriate preparation and planning. Colleges enroll more than 3 million students every year and 900,000 students drop out after their first year. These results are alarming and negatively affect students when participating in one of the most important decisions of their lives.
