Helping Students Thrive and Graduate Strong
Getting into college is just the beginning. College Planning Today Services provides continuous support to ensure students stay on track, overcome challenges, and reach graduation successfully.
Our Approach
Academic progress monitoring
We track each student’s academic performance to ensure they remain on target for graduation. By regularly reviewing grades, course completion, and program requirements, we identify challenges early and provide proactive strategies to keep students on track toward their educational goals.
Mentorship and accountability programs
Our mentorship programs pair students with experienced advisors who provide guidance, encouragement, and accountability throughout their college journey. Regular check-ins and personalized support help students stay focused, motivated, and confident in their ability to succeed.
Time management and study skills coaching
College demands effective study habits and strong organizational skills. We equip students with practical tools for managing time, prioritizing tasks, and mastering study techniques—helping them handle coursework efficiently while balancing extracurricular and personal commitments.
Career readiness and transition planning
Graduation is just the beginning. We prepare students for the workforce by helping them identify career paths, develop professional skills, and access internship and employment opportunities—ensuring a smooth transition from college to meaningful, sustainable careers.
Why It’s Important
Retention is one of the most critical factors in achieving long-term academic and career success. Students who receive consistent guidance, mentoring, and accountability are far more likely to stay on track, overcome challenges, and graduate on time. At College Planning Today Services, we partner closely with institutions, families, and students to provide the structure, encouragement, and tools needed to maintain academic momentum. From academic progress monitoring to career readiness coaching, we create a supportive environment that helps students navigate both the expected and unexpected obstacles of college life.
Measurable Impact
Our results speak for themselves. Through targeted mentoring, proactive support, and strategic interventions, CPTS programs have measurably improved student retention rates across multiple partner colleges and universities. Students engaged in our programs demonstrate stronger academic performance, higher engagement with campus resources, and increased confidence in their ability to succeed. Each success story reinforces our commitment to helping students not only reach college but complete it successfully and move confidently into their careers.
How It Works
At College Planning Today Services (CPTS), success isn’t left to chance—it’s built through a proven process. Every student’s path to college and career success is unique, but the strategy that gets them there must be intentional, structured, and well-informed. That’s where we come in.
Our team doesn’t just guide students—we partner with them. From the moment they begin working with CPTS, each step is designed to uncover their strengths, clarify their goals, and strategically align every decision—from applications to financial aid—to create the best possible outcome.
By following our structured process, families gain peace of mind, students gain confidence, and everyone stays focused on one shared goal: turning potential into opportunity.
Step 1:
Schedule a consultation: Every successful journey begins with a clear starting point. During your initial consultation, we take the time to understand each student’s academic background, personal goals, and family priorities. This meeting helps us identify opportunities, challenges, and the best strategies for success.
Step 2:
Create your personalized plan: Next, we design a customized roadmap tailored to the student’s needs—covering college selection, scholarship opportunities, and financial planning. This plan serves as a clear guide that keeps both students and families organized, confident, and focused on measurable goals.
Step 3
Execute with our expert support: Our team works side-by-side with students throughout the process—reviewing applications, essays, and financial documents while providing ongoing mentorship and accountability. With our guidance, every requirement is met, every deadline is managed, and every opportunity is maximized.
Step 4:
Review results and next steps: Once applications and aid packages are complete, we help students evaluate their results, compare offers, and make informed final decisions. From acceptance letters to scholarship awards, we ensure every success is leveraged toward the next stage—college success, graduation, and career readiness.
