The Reality Most Families Don’t Hear
Getting accepted is not the finish line.
For African American students, the months after acceptance are the most overlooked — and the most dangerous.
This is where students struggle with:
missed deadlines
confusing financial aid steps
poor advising
isolation on campus
academic overwhelm
“summer melt”
feeling unprepared or unsupported
Most families don’t realize this until it’s too late.
This guide changes that.
