College is hard enough.
The application process doesn't have to be.
With tuition escalating at alarming rates and student loan interest rates rising faster than ever, just thinking about the financial burden of attending a college can be gut-wrenching for both parents and children.
It’s no secret that educational grants and scholarships are the much-needed routes to secure your children's college dreams in such an unprecedented economy.
Imagine…
Being stress-free from the gruesome financial hassle of higher education. Helping your child secure opportunities that will lead to their financial freedom. And giving them a direction to turn their passionate goals into a living reality.
But there’s a catch! Winning financial aid is not child's play. Most students are under the impression that there aren't many scholarships available for them, or they may not meet the eligibility criteria. Even if they manage to find a suitable scholarship, they quickly get overwhelmed by the tedious application process. With the highly intense competition, many students sabotage their chances of getting a scholarship even before starting.
Here’s the thing-
The real reason why many students struggle to get into their dream college and win scholarships is the lack of knowledge and guidance.
Millions of dollars in scholarships go unclaimed each year because many students don’t think they will qualify for scholarships and it's hard to find the right scholarships and then go through the application process alone. It is difficult to achieve a debt-free degree by sifting through free internet resources, writing ineffective admission essays, or blindly following the blind.
It doesn’t have to be this way for you! At Crescent City College Consulting, our goal is simple; to help students find the right direction to make them more competitive, devoted, and confident. From researching the perfect major, to submitting quality applications, to finding relevant scholarships, navigating test prep options, and understanding student loans– we do it all! In simple words, I take the hassle out of scholarship applications and the college admission process so that you can focus on what is important – your future.

PERSONALIZED 1:1 COLLEGE ADMISSION ADVISING
If you need help narrowing down a major or a list of schools, or you want guidance with your essays, or you want to focus strictly on scholarships, or maybe you want to have your applications reviewed before you submit them- we will create a customized plan to ensure you feel comfortable and confident throughout the college application process.
I meet with some families only once and together we create a game plan of the necessary next steps to take. While I remain an active part of the college process for other families, meeting multiple times throughout their college planning, essays and applications. I still meet with some students well into their college years to assist with scheduling classes each semester and sending them relevant scholarship opportunities. You get to decide how much help your family will require and how hands on you would like me to be in your college decisions.
