Discover What College Readiness Really Means — For You and Your Family

Grades and test scores only tell part of the story. The College Readiness Snapshot is a free, personalized tool that helps students and families explore the deeper layers of college preparation — the ones that truly shape success.

Based on research from The Unheard: What College Readiness Means to TRIO Parents, this tool goes beyond academics to uncover how ready you are — socially, emotionally, financially, and more — to thrive in college. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being prepared.

What You’ll Learn from the Snapshot

• How your strengths and challenges align with college life
• Where you might need more support — and where you’re already thriving
• What matters most to your family when choosing a college
• How your readiness compares across key areas like independence, belonging, budgeting, and communication
• How your spiritual life — including prayer habits and faith practices — aligns with the realities of college life
• How prepared you feel to live out your faith in a non-Christian or spiritually diverse environment

Want the Full Picture?

After completing your Snapshot, you’ll have the option to unlock your College Readiness Score — a comprehensive, research-backed profile that:

• Matches you with colleges that fit your academic goals and your family’s priorities
• Highlights the support systems you’ll need to succeed — and where to find them
• Gives you and your parent/guardian a shared language to talk about college fit
• Helps you advocate for yourself in financial aid, advising, and admissions conversations
• Includes a Spiritual Fit Score — helping you reflect on how your faith journey connects with your college environment

When you unlock your full profile, you’ll also get unlimited access to two powerful tools:

• College Cost Calculator — estimate real costs and compare financial aid options
• College Match Calculator — find schools that align with your academic interests, spiritual supports, distance from home, and more — with special attention to first-generation students

It’s more than a score — it’s a strategy. And for just $24.99, it could save you thousands in misfit tuition, transfers, or missed opportunities.
