Blueprint To College For Parents
Are you a parent who does not know what the first step should be in researching and applying to colleges? I guide you in defining and setting your goals for your child's college options, factoring in location, cost, funding options, and producing competitive applications. I assist parents with mapping out the path and timeline for achieving your family's goals, preparing for you a list of deadlines, to-do lists, and resources for further help. This can be a single session consultation or multiple sessions, depending on your family's needs.
Downloadable guides are available for purchase for those parents who want the information without the time and financial commitment of a session.

College Applications Process
Sessions include coaching on how to prepare for college, forming a strategy for the college search, a scholarship search, and writing a college application essay template. The final sessions will be devoted to rewrites and helping the client understand how to tailor the template to submit for various applications. We will target a specific kind of school, program, and location based on the student's academic standing and preferences.
Interview coaching is available for students who need assistance preparing for on-campus or telephone interviews.

Scholarship, Grant, or Fellowship Applications Process
Sessions include assistance with researching grants you are eligible for and writing a strong scholarship essay that demonstrates real financial need or scholarly merit. The student learns how to participate in funding his or her own education.
For grants or fellowships: sessions include strategizing which grants or fellowships to apply for, assistance in finding awards you are eligible for, and writing a grant essay that makes clear the necessity of your project. Scholars who communicate their ideas in a detailed yet concise manner are the ones receiving awards, because selection committees understand exactly what their money is funding.
