Basic Hourly Rates for All Planning Services
$250.00* per hour, pro-rated. [Includes all planning services as agreed to by and between student/parents and COLLEGE CONNECTION counselor.
Whether you're in Great Neck or in Guam, time constraints, logistics, Covid concerns, or simply dollars and cents may make face-to-face, in-person counseling impractical, if not impossible.
That's why College Connection offers E-Planning, a comprehensive combo of online, e-mail and virtual counseling, with a real-live college planning counselor on hand and on call, to seamlessly take you through the college admissions process.
With College Connection's online and interactive resources, and the assistance of a college counselor never more than a telephone call, e-mail, Zoom meeting, Skype, FaceTime, or even a Tweet away, navigating the road to college has never been easier or more stress-free. [Why, you can even do all of your college planning in your PJs! ;-)]
