OPTIMIZING MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS

Most middle and upper-middle income families are surprised to learn that with a little planning, they can significantly lower out-of-pocket college costs, maximize grants and scholarships, and minimize debt.

At Anja Education, we help obtain maximum merit scholarships for all our clients by guiding students to optimize their profile and applications. For over a decade, we’ve tracked which colleges are consistently the optimal fit and at the same time the most generous for specific types of students—based on academics, extracurriculars, talents, and personality.

This institutional fit strategy and a deep dive into the data has yielded our proprietary Merit Vault™, a college and scholarship matching system that shows colleges exactly why your child belongs on their campus AND spells that out for you in our report– so you know exactly why each college is on your list.

GAP YEAR PLANNING IF NEEDED

Gap Years are Trending--and for Good Reason. Here’s Why:

Research shows that students who have taken time between high school and college outperform students who have not on their GPA by at least .5 points. This is a result of greater focus and maturity, so taking time between high school and college can save time on major and career selection. When needed, we help student strategically plan their gap year so it boosts their chances of admission and merit scholarships.

PORTFOLIOS AND TALENT DEVELOPMENT FOR VISUAL, LITERARY & PERFORMING ARTS

Nurturing creative talent includes selecting the right teachers and mentors, helping students balance their artistic and academic goals, building on strengths and bridging gaps, and showcasing the talent to its best advantage. We have experts on our team with the experience and the instinct to help bring young talent to fruition both to enhance admissions and merit scholarships. The result? Outstanding fine arts, film, and literary portfolios and guidance on auditions for performing arts so admissions committees see your potential and the absolute best work you are capable of.
