College Planning

College Planning is an individual and personalized service that can help both parents and students decide on the best college to attend. These are services that the majority of High School Counselors usually cannot provide due to a large number of students they assist each school year. All colleges are good, however, the “best” college is the one that is right for you. We’ll help you make the right choice and build a successful future!

There are more than 3000 colleges and universities in the US and Canada. With this number of opportunities, what steps to take and when to take them can overwhelm even the most diligent and determined students and parents. When should we start the process? What are benefits to starting early? Eduscape Associates can help navigate the process and help you avoid confusion and frustration making the college planning process painless!
