The College Blueprint, NFP Details
Our mission at The College Blueprint simply is to provide families of college bound students the educational resources, tools, and guidance needed in planning for college admissions and funding higher education. Our goal is to make sure that every student has a fair chance to attend the college of their dreams, and reduce the number of stumbling blocks and mistakes commonly made by families along the way.We amp up and revolutionize a "financial aid night" and we discuss real life strategies to help students and parents make the right school choice and funding strategies. Our programs educate families that there is so much more to financial aid than filling out forms. Just look at the facts below! The average students take 5-6 years to get a bachelors degree from a 4 year college. This could mean $10-50,000 in additional college expenses. With the proper planning this and many other costly mistakes can be avoided.A recent study shows that of every 100 ninth-graders in this country:• 69 graduate from high school on time• 38 enter college directly after high school• 28 remain enrolled after their second year in college• 20 – yes, only 20 – graduate from college within 6 years** Source: Lumina Foundation Focus, Spring 2010 (from the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems)
