Our Services

FOCUS 2 CAREER guides your student through a reliable, intuitive career & education decision making model to help them choose majors, explore occupations & and make informed career decisions.

Clients are provided with interactive coaching sessions between the family/student and an educational counselor.

These sessions are designed to help families and students in choosing the right college and the most viable schools.

Through our comprehensive college search and student positioning interview, we:

• Search ALL four-year private and public colleges

• Create a list of colleges that meet the student's needs, criteria, and academic background. Perhaps just as important, our search shows which schools give money, the types of financial aid, and historically, how much they provide.

Your Student Aid Index is essentially what a college believes you should pay out of pocket to them.

We analyze your current financial situation to help you understand how your numbers look from a college's perspective.

From there, we'll make recommendations on how to best position yourself to lower this number.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is a required form for any family who wishes to receive any type of financial aid.

Schools use the numbers you report here to scale the aid they offer.

Filling out the FAFSA correctly and early is one of the most important steps in securing your student's financial aid.

We file the FAFSA for our families, ensuring it’s filled out correctly to maximize your aid package.

The College Scholarship Service Profile is an application distributed by College Board members for determining college financial aid.

It is much more detailed than the FAFSA.

Generally speaking, most private institutions use the CSS Profile. whereas public and state universities do not.

We'll make certain your CSS Profile and FAFSA match, which is critical to avoid verification (the financial aid equivalent of getting audited).

*N.W. College Solutions is not responsible for profile filing fees charged by the College Board.

Universities often require additional forms beyond what is normally required.

Part of our role is helping you understand what else, if anything, is required by the school and subsequently working together to fill it out and submit it on time.

With premiere testing study software, our SAT / ACT Prep provides students with unmatched test prep tools.

Extra points on the ACT or SAT test can mean thousands extra in merit aid!

How Our Prep Works.

Coursework is completed on-line

The tool pre-tests students, then builds a study guide covering ONLY areas for improvement.

The tool is designed by Cornell University Graduates.

N.W. College Solutions provides you with resources on your three loan options: private loans, federal Loans, and state loans.

We'll give you the tools, resources, and information you need to reduce some of the college loan stress.

When a student is accepted to a college, they'll receive a letter breaking down the offer a college is making them.

You may be surprised to learn the first offer may not be the best.

Colleges use a detailed formula to calculate the lowest possible offer they can use to entice a student to attend.

We'll work with you on a response supported with relevant numbers, reasons, or competing offers to get this number higher.

Students will learn to use LinkedIn or Instagram to curate a digital self-portrait that accurately reflects their interests and achievements — both in and out of school.

Add a Facebook profile for community building, a YouTube or TikTok channel for video presentations, and a Twitter feed for outreach, and students have a multi-faceted presence, based on today’s best practices, designed to focus colleges on their passions, potential and character.

All while growing a network of like-minded young people and potential mentors in their fields of interest
