Happy New Year! New Beginnings, New January Special

We are Making it Easier this Year for You to Get College Fully Funded

Hello Reader,

Happy New Year! I hope 2025 is off to a good start for you. The start of the year is usually a time for reflection. On the things that went well last year and the things that didn't. On our hopes for the new year and our dreams for ourselves and our families.

It is also a time for added resolve to get better at the good habits to which we aspire. To eat better, sleep better, exercise regularly, read more, watch less, etc. Hence the term, new year resolutions.

Whether you are the type that makes new year resolutions or you have an outline of goals you want to accomplish in the new year, I wish you all the best.

If you are a high school senior or have a high school senior in your life, you might have spent some of the holidays completing applications, especially those that are due first week of January. I also spent some of this past week answering my students' questions as they sent off applications due Jan 1 to 5.

If you have a prospective college student in your life or are a prospective college student who will apply to college in the 2025-26 academic year, then a successful college admission journey should be on your goals list for 2025.

We are here to support you on the college admissions journey. That is why for the first time we are offering a January special: a $1,000 discount. Enroll in the summer or fall 2025 session of CFF College Fully Funded® (our college admissions coaching program) in the month of January and get $1000 off when you pay in full.

CFF College Fully Funded® is our comprehensive college admissions coaching program for committed students whose families cannot afford to pay for college without incurring debt. We work with you to find, apply, and secure admission with full funding into U.S. colleges and avoid debt.

Our students have secured admission with funding offers worth hundreds of thousands of dollars per offer at selective and non-selective colleges across the country including the Ivy League, Lehigh University, University of Miami, Union College, etc.

Enrollment is now open for current high school juniors and prospective transfer students. Start by booking a no-fee, no-obligation How to Get College Fully Funded Strategy Call today.

And please feel free to forward this to friends and acquaintances with high school juniors or prospective transfer students who will apply to college starting in the fall of 2025 to begin college in fall 2026. You can take advantage of our generous referral policy. If your friend enrolls they get a discount and you get a cash bonus.

Let's help you accomplish one of your goals for 2025. Wishing you all the best this new year.
