Our Approach

Our services reflect the sequential steps of applying for college and scholarships. As with every important life decision it begins with self-awareness.

Finding your student’s strengths, interests, goals, stressors, and motivators by testing for them lays the foundation for choosing a college major. Bright Futures Consulting uses the Birkman Report, a reliable and validated method of personality assessment.

Discovering the best-fit colleges is the next step. Dr. Dennard has spent the last ten years matching each student with the right college. She has visited 250 colleges stays current with college application trends. She offers individualized guidance counseling. Together, she and the student work to match the student with colleges.

Pursuing the goal comes after developing the list of colleges, Dr. Dennard and her team guide students through the steps, one student at a time. This includes planning for the SAT and ACT, and developing the essentials parts of the college application including the essay, resume, application, and supplements. Our goal is to help the student present him or herself authentically and persuasively to the colleges.

Successful decision-making takes place once students gain admission they and their families may desire an independent and objective expert who acts to direct the student to the best fit, single institution.
