Ariadne College Advisors guides families through every step of the college process, helping them achieve academic and financial success customized to their unique needs. Our committed community of family advisors provides calm, reassuring guidance as they lead families through creative solutions to challenging college problems.
We’ve seen first hand the positive impact experienced, empathetic guidance can have on a family as they navigate the college process. Often, that impact is greatest for the families who have the least. The Ariadne Access Program is designed to bridge that gap and bring better results to more families.

Planning team is well versed on the various financial aid opportunities available at private universities. Even though it will be a few years before our next child applies to college, they were more than happy to spend a little time discussing her future opportunities and help us plan our next steps. We will certainly be contacting them again to enlist their support in navigating the collegiate system for our younger children.

Great teamwork with this company 👏 they know the in and outs of it all! Helped us appeal and fix our FAFSA/CSS profile and also finding scholarships. Money well spent and they helped us every inch of the way. Always responsive with all lines of communication when we needed help. Email, phone or text. Professional. Prompt to answer questions and get answers ASAP. Wish I knew about them prior to our daughter's senior year.

Very informative and proactive as our family worked through a financial aid appeals process with my child's university, which resulted in a $3100 reduction in their tuition. I wouldn't have known this was a possibility if they had not provided this information early on in our college planning.

Everyone from the financial planning to the academic team members who helped our son with college selection, essay writing and financial planning were transparent and always wanted to help. We highly recommend them to anyone who needs guidance in helping their children on college & financial planning.

Fantastic guidance with lots of input for families and students to examine all possibilities for college. Highly recommend to talk with advisers to get additional tips that could help families given the current state of college tuition.
