Students Take Control of Their Futures
Real stories of navigating college and career choices with Encourage
It just gave me all the information I was looking for in one place. It definitely lifts the weight off my shoulders.”
Sofia
Senior
Pacific Northwest
Sofia was scared to even start her college search — the applications, the deadlines, and the pressure to choose a future career felt completely overwhelming. When her dad recommended Encourage, everything changed.
Sofia was matched with colleges that fit who she actually is — schools with the diversity, community, and connection she was looking for. She spent hours exploring majors and careers she never knew existed, learning about salaries, required degrees, and day-to-day responsibilities all in one place. With a clear, step-by-step list guiding her through FAFSA, scholarships, and applications, the weight finally lifted off her shoulders.
Now, Sofia knows she has options and a plan to reach them.
