Far more than individualized advising that guides high school seniors as they navigate the entire college application process and make an informed decision, Higher Edge builds a foundation that enables students to persist through until their college graduation.
“Higher Edge is a great support system that understands what college is like while also having the experience to talk me through it. They kept me on track with things that may get lost in the background and made sure I had everything I needed … and this is for anything!”

“As a first generation college student, success was never only for me, but for my family as well. I wanted to pursue Neuroscience and get hands-on experience. I also wanted to broaden my horizons when it came to friends, experiences, and knowledge. Higher Edge provided me the tools to make my dreams a reality: I was offered detailed and genuine guidance when pursuing college. Higher Edge took my confused thoughts and worked through them with me, and is why I ended up attending Lycoming College.”

“Throughout my time at Clark University, Higher Edge not only inspired me to pursue new opportunities, but they stuck with me. My success is attributed to Higher Edge’s continuous reminders and the extensive information made available to EVERY student. All the while, I was figuring out my own identity and role in a predominately white institution. Yet, Higher Edge gave me the confidence & social capital I needed to pursue my goals.”
