What's it like to work with CollegeKnowledge.info
Confused or overwhelmed on where to start?
The best outcomes require mastering a range of issues and working them to your advantage. We lead you through the process with expert knowledge to navigate the pitfalls and dangers of making choices that can adversely affect the student and family’s future. The sooner you begin, the better you can prepare.
How do we know which college we can afford?
Traditional financial/tax planning can conflict with financial aid. That’s where we step in. College Knowledge significantly decreases your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) which increases opportunities for financial aid and mitigate out of pocket expenses. (NOTE* Starting 2024/2025 award year, EFC will change to SAI (Student Aid Index). Click Here for more info.)
How do we find the right school at the right price?
After the assessment process, we provide education, action items and tools for you to research and explore colleges that identify with your needs socially, academically and financially. With these tools and guidance, you can make a well-informed decision.
Can my student attend their favorite college with your program?
Many times, “favorite colleges” comes into play. At College Knowledge, we save you time and money by confirming you’ll receive an offer BEFORE applying. While we certainly want them to go to school of their choice, finding the right fit academically, socially and financially is the best chance for success.
When should I get started?
If enrolled in high school, now is the time. Our program’s success depends on planned-out decisions and careful planning. Please note that students with religious obligations before college should work through selection/offers process before leaving. Colleges work with these situations and are willing to keep your offer on hold.

Is my student on the right path?
Lack of career planning and failure to make the proper school selection contribute to increased college transfer/dropout rates. We deliver well-developed, customized, sustainable solutions with measurable results.
For example… Some believe you can lower educational cost by attending community college or two-year institution first. Remember, these schools have less stringent academic standards where some credits will transfer and others won’t. This equates to additional course work and possibly an additional year of college. Lastly, you will lose out on an abundance of assistance designated primarily for incoming freshman because transfer students seldom get offers of assistance.
A Penn State study says 75% of students will change their major once in college. Selecting the best college for your major is not always ideal. Have a backup plan to your backup plan.
According to a study, 59% of students will complete their 4-year degree in 6 years. If a student is lucky enough to receive a 4 year offer, how do you pay for the remaining 2 years when there is no offer after the initial 4? Choose a college where data shows the highest likelihood of obtaining a bachelor’s degree in 4 years. If there is a #1 in every high school in the U.S., how do you know where you fit academically in any particular college? An academic fit is paramount! You will prolong your graduation and career without one...let alone the additional cost you may incur.
If a student takes longer to graduate, the colleges make back the money they might have given you in the first place. Colleges get paid BEFORE you even step foot on their campus. Don’t give them more money by making a poor decision.
