The College Launch Solution is 56 hours of training on how to get admission and scholarships, with ebooks, classes and downloads. It includes a monthly "to do list" on the first of each month, a weekly consultation with me when you choose Private Coaching, and 24/7 access to the Insider's Club on Facebook so you can ask other members questions if I'm not available.
