Testimonials
A recent mentee parent said:
"Thanks! You were a tremendous help getting us pointed in the right direction."
Another mentee parent wrote:
Hi Mentors4College,
I wanted to send you a quick email to thank you for your part in supporting our son during his college application process.
He took the advice offered through the college mentor program and applied to several levels of schools.
He was accepted to Columbia, University of Chicago, Duke, Harvard, University of Minnesota, Washington State and Yale, many of whom offered him full scholarships.
He has chosen to attend Harvard in the fall to study physics.
We are truly grateful for the resources offered through Parkway North and appreciate all of the college mentors.
Thank You!!

"It has been a great help and support to walk with you throughout [my] high school especially in [my] junior and senior year. I felt as if I was walking in the dark until you intervened and redirected us toward the best path."
