Mentorship
As Martha states, having a positive influence and mentor makes a huge difference in high school students’ success in college-and beyond. If you’re lost and wondering where to find that guidance, we’re here for you! Personalized and supportive counselors who understand your story and perspective and goals are an invaluable resource.
Best Fit
Not only that, but finding the best fit program for you is critical. Finding the right school, major, and program for you can make the difference between success and hardship. Consider not graduating, failing out of classes, and becoming frustrated with lack of progress… or discovering your passions, excelling in your field, and finding excitement and success in your future.
