College Application Assistance
Submitting college applications can be difficult for everyone. However, this challenge may be even greater for first-generation students, students from low-income families, and students with IEPs or 504 Plans.
At College Approach, we offer free application assistance to students who lack adequate assistance. Our tutors attend highly-ranked universities, including Columbia University, New York University, Georgetown University, Brown University, and Cornell University. In addition, our tutors have all scored above the 95th percentile on their standardized testing and maintain high college GPAs. Finally, some of our volunteers are bilingual and can offer help to students who speak English as a second language.
Tax-Exempt Status
College Approach is non-profit corporation filed in accordance with New Jersey State Law on 01/21/2020 and assigned identification number 0450455994. As of 03/16/2022, we are recognized as a tax-exempt organization by the IRS.

Eligibility
This program is open to first-generation students and students from low-income families. We are also happy to work with students who, due to other extenuating circumstances, do not have access to the support and resources they need to successfully apply to college. This latter group may include students with an IEP or 504 Plan; or homeschooled students who are unable to attend college information sessions at local high schools. If you are unsure about whether you qualify for assistance, please reach out!
