Digital College Counseling

Traditional college counseling is too expensive especially if you have only have a few questions and need some direction. Use the resources and tools here to help you navigate the process at an affordable price.

Bridge to College was developed by a team of education researchers, experts in college access and education, and K-12 and university educators. Some of us literally wrote the book on college counseling for under-served students and social fit in college admissions. Literally. This stuff was our dissertation and theses at places like the University of Chicago, UCLA, and Harvard. Seriously. And in over ten years, students who’ve worked with us have all been admitted to college with their funding needs met. Who else can say that?

We realized there is a way to make this digital so that more students can get this service for a cheaper price. So here it is. Enjoy!
