The IvyWise Scholars program for high school students is a combination of college counseling and tutoring, where students are guided through the admissions process by an IvyWise expert college counselor, with additional support from IvyWise tutors, to help them achieve their admissions goals. Scholars typically complete the Common App and 4-6 supplements by the end of the program. We also work with students from start to finish who are applying to match with their top-choice schools through the QuestBridge scholarship.
In addition to college admissions counseling, IvyWise Scholars in high school receive 10 hours of tutoring for use as needed, either for academic tutoring or test prep.
The IvyWise Scholars application for 2024-25 has now closed. Please stay tuned for the launch of the 2025-26 application cycle next year.

IvyWise offers the Transfer Scholars program for current first- or second-year college students planning to transfer to a different four-year institution. This includes personalized transfer admissions guidance from our expert counselors. Scholars will be guided through the transfer admissions process with individual one-on-one counseling, allowing them to maximize their program time and gain a full understanding of why they want to transfer and what they need to do to secure admission to their top-choice transfer schools. Scholars typically complete around 2-3 transfer applications by the end of the program.
The IvyWise Transfer Scholars application for students looking to transfer to a four-year college or university in fall 2025 is now open here. Applications are evaluated on a rolling basis through April 1, 2025. Accepted Scholars will start their programs as early as January 15, 2025, depending on their acceptance date.
