“Elevate—Higher Education Services helped to simplify the complexities of applying for financial aid. As a low-income, first-generation college student, my family was struggling with the fact that we would have to pay a lof of money for me to enroll in college. ELEVATE Higher Education Services supported me and guided me all the way. They helped me qualify for more financial aid which made it possible for my parents to afford sending me to attend my dream college!"
