[SEED] How Nonprofits Are Closing the College Access Gap

The Equity Problem in College Consulting

Private college consultants can charge $5,000 to $10,000+ per student. Meanwhile, public school counselors are stretched thin — often serving 400+ students each. This creates a massive gap in college access.

The Paratum Scholars' Mission

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, The Paratum Scholars exists to bridge this gap. We provide:

• Free and reduced-cost college consulting
• Aptitude testing and career planning
• Specialized support for student-athletes
• Organizational partnerships for schools and community groups

Impact by the Numbers

Nonprofit college access organizations have been shown to increase college enrollment rates by up to 30% for first-generation students.

Every student deserves expert guidance in their college journey, regardless of their family's financial situation.
