Join us for free virtual college counseling drop-in support!
Virtual drop-in support was designed to help students who have after-school commitments such as work, babysitting, family duties, or other responsibilities, and can’t commit to our regular yearlong programming.
Our free virtual college coaching sessions take place via Zoom and consist of one-on-one support from a trained college coach to help students work on their college essays and build their college lists. At the end of each session, we ask students to complete a quick form to give us feedback on their experience.
About drop-in sessions:
Sessions will be facilitated in English and we encourage students to be in a quiet space, if possible, so they can have a productive session with one of our coaches. We also encourage students to come prepared with specific questions or drafts of their essay(s).

Everything you need to know about Virtual Drop-in.
When students join the drop-in session via Zoom, they will be paired 1:1 with a ScholarMatch college coach in a breakout room. To make the most of this limited opportunity, we encourage students to come prepared with specific questions or drafts of their essay(s).
If students experience any technical issues during the session, like video or audio quality problems, our data team will support them. Students can reach out for support by texting us at (904) 385-8348. Our team will promptly resolve any technical difficulties, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted session experience.
No, students can attend as many sessions as they want. The goal is for students to attend as many sessions as needed as they navigate the college application process.
