A practical start
Turn “Where do we start?” into a plan you can see.

Keep details from slipping through the cracks. Track deadlines, documents, college notes, and scholarship activity in a consistent place.
Plan together without starting from scratch. Use the included worksheets and email templates to make planning conversations easier.
Educational resources only
Helpful tools, not one-size-fits-all advice.
Not a substitute for: Individualized admissions strategy, school counseling, legal advice, tax advice, financial planning, or official college and FAFSA information.
The Toolkit does not guarantee admission, scholarships, or financial aid. Families should verify current requirements and deadlines with official sources.
