Creating Endless Possibilities for Students
At College Possible, we believe in the transformative power of opportunity. For nearly 25 years, we’ve made higher education a reality for students from all backgrounds. As the largest nonprofit of our kind, our focus is simple: help students turn dreams into degrees. From high school through college graduation, we stand by their side, offering guidance, encouragement, and unwavering belief in their potential. Our coaches help students navigate challenges, overcome setbacks, and reach the finish line—all at no cost to them or their families.
Through partnerships with high schools and colleges, we simplify the complex college process—from tackling applications and navigating financial aid to acing ACT/SAT prep and understanding head-scratching terms like bursar and registrar. Whether in-person or virtually, we meet students where they are, providing the tools, mentorship, and support they need to earn their degrees and create a future full of promise.
Together, we’re rewriting the stories of nearly 100,000 students—and counting—transforming lives and communities for generations to come. With College Possible, a brighter future isn’t just possible—it’s within reach.

How We Make College Possible
In-Person
Coaching
We offer in-person support at eight locations across the U.S., providing six years of near-peer coaching to help students find their best-fit college and navigate any challenges throughout their academic journey. Starting in their junior year of high school and continuing through college graduation, our coaches guide students in selecting a college, applying, securing financial aid, and more. Throughout college, we continue to support them as they choose a major, find internships, build leadership skills, and prepare for life after graduation.
Virtual
Coaching
Our AI-powered virtual coaching service is improving the college experience for students. We offer personalized coaching at partner high schools, guiding students through the college application and financial aid process with the help of trained near-peer coaches. Once in college, we help students navigate enrollment, stay motivated, and persist toward earning their degrees. As a high school or university partner, our model enables you to scale quickly, effectively increasing your student support team by four times and offering guidance to even more students.
Free to
Students
Our college access and success programs are offered at no cost to students or their families. In the 2023-2024 year alone, we provided free coaching to over 25,000 students. This allows students to focus on getting into and through college, while we focus on finding their best-fit education, with little to no debt.
6+ Years of Reliable,
Continuous Support
Students enrolled in our programs receive one of the longest support cycles available, starting their junior year in high school and continuing through degree completion. When students choose to transfer, unenroll or take a break from college, they can rely on College Possible for the guidance and coaching needed to ensure they continue to progress toward their college degree.
I always wanted to go to college. Growing up, my mom reassured me: “Kimberly, your education is your inheritance. I may not be able to give you much else, but I can give you an education.” From this grew my unwavering passion and dedication to academia.
