KE Welcomes New Collaboration with College Admissions Pathways (CAPs) 

Many families whose students come to Knowledge Edge for ACT or SAT prep are seeking information about college admissions in general, including help on identifying the "right fit" schools for their student, financial aid applications and other aspects of the admissions process.

 


We are pleased to enter into a collaboration with College Admissions Pathways(CAPs).  Director Tom Tonnesen has a wealth of experience in the college admissions process and we look forward to bringing his insights to parents through free seminars and other opportunities for consultation.

Key services offered by College Admissions Pathways which may be valuable to Knowledge Edge families include:
  • Comprehensive and Personalized College Admissions Counseling
  • Guidance for Students and their Parents beginning as early as eighth grade
  • College Search Process (What type of school is right for you?)
  • Assistance with Application Forms (Differentiating yourself from others)
  • Assistance with the Financial Aid Process (FAFSA, CSS/Profile, School Supplements)
  • Scholarship Searches (Where to look? How to apply?)

College Admissions Pathways' website is www.caps2college.com.
