Why the College List is So Important

Hello Reader,

I hope you are having a good weekend. In the next few editions of the newsletter, I'll be highlighting what it takes to secure admission into U.S. colleges and universities with full funding.

Today, I will focus on the foundation necessary to accomplish this feat: a balanced college list. Watch the video below to learn more about this crucial aspect of the College Fully Funded framework.

This 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.
