A smart investment in your future

For parents, watching their son or daughter receive a university degree is a priceless moment. The Student Advising and Support Service is insurance that your son or daughter will meet their goals.

For only $6,250 per academic year or $3,125 per semester, you can enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that your son or daughter has access to a dedicated, trusted Advisor who will support their development by providing mentoring, nurturing, and personal and educational support.

One year of the Student Advising and Support Service costs 4.5% of the average tuition investment over four years of college in the USA. This relatively small additional cost will give your child the very best opportunity to succeed at university.

Parents re-enroll their children in Student Advising year after year, because they see the difference that it makes.
