INTRODUCING...

The College Ready Plan

A comprehensive, personalized program designed to maximize your child’s potential and open doors to their best-fit colleges—academically, socially, and financially.

Our Proven Approach Has Helped Thousands of Families Achieve Remarkable Results

Over the past 17 years, we’ve guided over 15,000 students to college success. Last year alone, 93% of our students were accepted into their top three schools, and in the past three years, they’ve earned over $23 million in scholarships—on top of need-based aid.

Why the College Ready Plan Works

Developed by Shellee Howard, founder and CEO of College Ready, the program is rooted in personal experience and professional expertise.
