    There are many studies being published that indicate that most jobs being created in the USA require a post-secondary education...sadly most students are not prepared to find the the right FIT school, or know how to FINANCE this needed education. With the high need of post-secondary education... we guide low-income and 1st generation students and their families through the college admission and scholarship process.While our work has been predominately focused on the greater Denver area, we recently launched services in the metro Phoenix area.I have been involved with Collegiate Crossings from the beginning (June, 2012), I am honored to be on the ground floor of work that is changing the lives of students and their families.We are about SUCCESS stories... education, career, service back to ones community. We provide comprehensive college planning services. Come join us!!http://www.collegiatecrossings.com
