WHERE ARE OUR STUDENTS NOW - STEPAHEAD SUCCESS STORIES
The StepAhead College Connection program has been providing a variety of opportunities to high school and college transfer students for over 18 years. Success has been seen by the level of acceptances and merit based scholarships which are offered to our students from universities around the country. Such schools include:
StepAhead specializes in supporting students whose goal is to attend a private university.
Two of the most amazing benefits of working with us are the incredible acceptance rates and the generous scholarships offered by many private schools.
MAKING THE CHOICE! Our clients typically apply to 12-14 universities that are 'good fit' schools and have a 94% acceptance rate! This provides students with CHOICES...and an attitude shift! We show our students how to search out which school is worth investing their time and money in, rather than being at the mercy of waiting for a school to accept them.
EVERY PENNY COUNTS! The average merit scholarship offered to our students for private universities is $26,000 annually guaranteed for 4 years if the student keeps a minimum 3.0GPA, which equates to over $100,000 over the four years. In addition, we help many low and middle income families get additional financial support directly from the university through university grants to supplement the cost of attendance, as well as state and federal grants and student loans.
