The GI College Success Academy honors active duty, veteran, wounded warriors, and our fallen heroes families with a free, full-service college planning program available online & supported by degreed counselors who work with military families around the globe. We enroll families with students in the 8th 12th grade and support them through college graduation. Our program includes expert step-by-step guidance, college/career advising, timely email reminders to keep everyone on track, scheduled calls to assess progress/set goals, application/essay reviews, test prep (PSAT/SAT/ACT), financial aid counseling/reviews, and advisor support through college graduation. This program greatly reduces stress on these families who are already dealing with multiple serious issues. Our results are impressive: 100% of GI families would recommend our program, our students have received an average annual financial aid package of $22,000 per student per year, 100% of our senior class was accepted into one of their top 2 colleges, and our college freshman persistency rate was 98%. We currently serve families in 35 states, as well as several who are stationed outside of the US, ensuring that the students are college ready, and making sound college/career choices.
