We want to help students and parents find answers to their questions concerning college advisement and financial aid. In addition to being a clearinghouse of information for college admission and scholarships, we want to help students of all ages with career advisement.

Contact us about the DISCOVER® Program. It is available free of charge and will help you in planning your career directions. A 45-minute inventory of your interests, abilities, and values leads you to a cluster of career opportunities. This web-based program allows you to locate every school in the United States that offers the college majors that match your career possibilities. We want to work with all students to help them obtain the education requirements they need to fulfill their career dreams and goals. Let us help you discover your career path.

As you explore this web site, our desire is that you become more aware of all of our programs and that you realize that we offer more than just scholarships. We offer hope to our students to finish high school and go on to the university, college, or technical college of their choice.

How may we help you?

Sincerely,
Rick Kollhoff, 2008 Chairman of the Board
