TESTIMONIALS

I've never been more excited in my life to help my children. Shellee is smart, has a big heart, and offers thorough and tailored support for her students.

Shellee and her team have been such a match for our family and guiding us through all of the details of college preparation. We enjoy the friendly dynamic, all of the workshops and the one on ones that we get. Its priceless.

If your kids are taking their studies seriously then you need to do your part and sign them up with College Ready sooner rather than later.

Shellee Howard has made the college planning process, stress free!” She simplified the process with a strategic plan that was easy to follow and put our son at ease.

Thanks to College Ready not only did my daughter get in to USC, she also got a scholarship and grant money. College Ready has already paid for itself!

College Ready helped our daughter get 10 acceptance letters with three full ride offers! It was an investment in our daughter’s future we will treasure forever!
