CCF has taught me a great deal on figuring out the colleges that could be a good fit for me. They introduced me to great colleges I've never heard of that would pay for me to attend their college with the resume I have developed for myself. CCF offers many opportunities best of which are the college tours we were able to attend. The colleges were all different and each had pros and cons but the opportunity to see and learn this in person was the best. Thanks CCF
It’s incredible. Having a group of diverse and well rounded adults who understand college admissions very well and are more than willing to support you through every decision is invaluable. Having everything I need in one place is priceless, and I am so grateful to everyone at College Choice for what they offer their scholars.
College Choice helped me find the college that would be the best fit for me. I applied to schools which I would have never otherwise, and by doing so, I was able to step out of my comfort zone, allowing me to reach my goals and making me overall happier. During the application process, College Choice also provided me with opportunities to improve my test taking and send scores afterwards through financial aid. Now in college, it has also given me financial resources that helped aid in my transition and made the first semester a happier and easier adjustment!
Wow, where do I start! From the incredible love and support to the guidance and discipline, College Choice has helped me become the person I am today. I can’t imagine my senior year without them. I don’t even want too. They have provided me with so many resources and training that I would have never thought of. They are always there for me at anytime and any day. Sometimes I even wonder do I deserve the countless opportunities and skills they provide because it seems unreal. Being a first generation student made me anxious because I feared of being unprepared about the future chapter of my life. Not only does College Choice reduce my anxiety, they inform my mother and I about college-related information, therefore we can understand the process. College choice continues to help me turn my dream into my reality. They helped me feel comfortable with lacking knowledge about this entire process. I have gained a second family that shows me the same support, love and encouragement as my immediate family. College choice is not just an organization that helps teens with the college process; they are a family and they truly want to see you succeed. With College Choice, there’s a great reason to rejoice.
College Choice has given me an opportunity to see schools and learn about I never knew about. I have had the opportunity to meet new people who inspire me and motivate me to do my best to be better than I was. It has been the best decision I ever made.
College Choice has given me the opportunity to tour and visit colleges along with guiding my on applications and resumes.
College Choice has greatly improved my drive and selection for colleges. Previously I was limiting myself to one or two colleges and that was it. Being with College Choice has opened my mind to applying and attending more colleges than I cared to hear for, as I would have missed some hidden gems otherwise.
I am known to be a knowledgeable, outstanding student but the college application process was something that I didn’t fully understand. With the help of College Choice I was able to choose the right colleges that were good for me academically, socially, and financially. Without being asked, I have already begun to recommend The College Choice program to underclassmen at my school and others. I believe that every student deserves the guidance that College Choice offers throughout the college application process.
CCF has made a tremendous impact on my life by expanding my horizons as I search for the right college. From the college tours to helping me with my ACT score , CCF has help made my senior year process amazing.
College Choice has impacted my life because all the work CC makes us do in my opinion makes it easier to know what you wanna do in life how to do where to go to do it and trying to let the colleges choose you instead of you choosing them. All the work they make us do pays off at the end and it’s worth it.
College Choice has made me a better student and has helped me realize what I want to do with my future. Mrs.Josephine does a great job at what she does
College Choice has impacted my life by giving me the opportunity to explore and learn about different colleges. College Choice has also given me the tools that I need to be successful in my future.
As of this school year, College Choice Foundation has been really beneficial to me in terms of enlightenment. From being apart of this organization I understand and realize the different concepts of applying to colleges not only in Alabama, but further out. This organization has opened my field of selection, and has expanded my inner-confidence. I can comfortably say that I am proud I have been selected to be apart of this program!
College Choice has given me many opportunities to learn more about the college experience and the process that goes into applying for college. I have been able to hear college admissions counselors give speeches to the group and have also been able to visit a campus. CCF has also allowed me to meet other students from Birmingham that have similar situations to mine and bond over our experiences.
College choice has helped me realize the importance of being vocal about where I’ve come from so that I have more opportunities. This has help me to strengthen my essays for different colleges and scholarships. I’m very grateful for everyone!
It has given me many more opportunities and options. Not just school based either. Traveling opportunities, networking, etc
