About

College research can be an intimidating experience for students and parents alike. Some people know exactly where they want to attend, but do they offer your major? Or, do you know what you want to study, but don’t know which school to choose? We can help.

We compile the necessary benchmarks into a customized profile. If you're interested in financial aid, we can help you distinguish the difference between applying for federal aid and scholarships.

Most higher education businesses specialize in college-prep tutoring, ACT® or SAT® practice, workshops, etc. What about the actual search for a school? Smart à la Carte is an unbiased liaison representing your community college and university research needs, saving you time, phone calls, and potential frustration.

No packages are offered, empowering you to purchase only services you need (hence, "à la carte"). This offers flexibility to take advantage of services when you are ready to shape your future.
