What is your Education PLAN?
Our Education Plan is a personalized portfolio that includes the completion of your college applications, financial aid, transcript evaluations and internship opportunities. You will meet one on one with a Academic Counselor, Financial Aid Counselor and a Career Counselor who will help you identify which educational path is right for you.
The Education Planners will help you identify the best college, university or certificate/vocational program to focus your career goals. We'll also show you how to pay for your education by exploring financial aid, scholarships and grant options. Most importantly we will guide you in choosing the right school that will give you the education and training you need to start for your career.
