“I had two kids in private college and needed financial aid. VEC was able to help me get the financial aid I needed. We never would have figured all this out on our own.  They made it easy for my wife and me to get through the red tape. I highly recommend VEC.” – Parent of Boston University and Azusa Pacific Students

You are not alone. As a parent of a college-bound student, the world seems like a complex, challenging and pressurized place. It's even more overwhelming for our children. Requirements to navigate the minefields of the college process include patience, diligence, persistence, organization, and education. And these are just the basics. We believe all college-bound students and parents can benefit from hiring private college consulting and it may actually save you money. A partnership with one of our coaching professionals allows you to connect with your own personal coach, in your own home or office, at times convenient for you.

Valle Educational Consultants' (VEC) core practice is to provide college search and selection education with a confidential and personalized approach. This allows families and individuals to make the right decisions about college as it relates to their entire life. VEC's clients represent a diverse cross-section of income levels and ages.

Our consultants are not therapists or counselors. They are college education specialists that are parents of high school and college students themselves.

VEC is based in the midwest area, however, we serve clients across the country. Today's busy family schedules just don't allow for flexibility ... VEC makes it easy on you. Whether you prefer a one-on-one, in-person professional advice session, ongoing telephone counseling for the student and/or parent, internet conference sessions via Skype, email only support, or any combination of these, we are here to meet your specific family's needs.

How does the college plan you have (or don't have) impact the life decisions you make each and every day? With the cost of college increasing each year, many families are seeking knowledge and understanding so they may more comfortably make decisions and manage their unique situation.
