Class 101 College Planning Franchise

Class 101 - Providing Crucial College Choice Services

Class 101 is a national college planning franchise that helps high school students get into better colleges and qualify for higher amounts of scholarships and financial aid. We address a common problem: the college application process is complicated, competitive and stressful, resulting in students who don’t get enough, or any, financial aid and often end up at the wrong school.

For more than 18 years, our mission has been to provide families with expert guidance in the college search, admissions and financial aid process.  Our goal is to see our students achieve theirs.

• Class 101 has helped over 3,000 students.
• Our students’ average ACT scores increase by 3.1 points with Class 101 assistance.
• Thousands of scholarships have been awarded through Class 101 facilitation.
• In our financial aid workshops, Class 101 staff has helped parents complete over 1,200 financial aid forms.

The Class 101 Brand Story:

Class 101 provides much-needed personalized college planning services.

Through one-on-one college planning sessions, we help prepare the high school student to take ACT and SAT tests, improve GPA, build a list of schools that are a good fit, write a powerful essay, complete applications and navigate the scholarship and financial aid processes.

Students that go through the Class 101 program have some dramatic results: the average American high school student applies to two or three schools and receives about $20,000 in scholarships and aid. Class 101 students apply to an average of 10 schools and receive more than $200,000 in scholarships and aid!

Our students also tend to stay in school. The dropout rate for incoming college freshmen is high — as many as one in three first-year students never make it to their sophomore year. The dropout rate for Class 101 students is less than 1% — far below the national average!
