Our mission is to assist students in finding the right “fit” for their future university studies.
“Fit” is defined as finding an institution that meets the academic, emotional, geographical, and financial needs of the student. This improves a student’s likelihood of graduating from a chosen college or university, as well as ultimate success in their chosen field of work.
