We believe in helping families communicate.
The College Ready Podcast brings students and families helpful best practices from college counselors and admissions experts.
Parents: Is Your Teen College Ready?

Your teen is in middle school or high school, and college is on the horizon! Do you know where to begin? It can be overwhelming! Which college will be a good fit? Can you afford it? What is my teen passionate about? This can be an exciting time, but a stressful one! College admission is at an all time high in both competitiveness and cost. How do you navigate this? Your host Shellee Howard with College Ready has helped countless families in the college admissions process while saving them thousands of dollars in tuition! In her podcast, she sits down with new and past clients to share their experiences with College Ready, along with financial advisors and other experts who understand the importance of financial awareness when it comes to graduating from college debt free. Last year, College Ready Seniors earned over $10.7 million dollars in scholarships. The information you hear on this show is priceless, you really can’t afford to not tune in!
