Pricing is adjusted based on your organization's size, funding, and the population you serve. Smaller, community-based organizations and those serving higher-need populations typically receive a larger adjustment than larger or better-funded organizations. Documentation - such as your organization's budget, funding sources, or nonprofit status - may be requested to confirm eligibility.

This varies by organization, but may include proof of 501(c)(3) or equivalent nonprofit status, an annual budget or funding summary, or a brief description of the population you serve. I'll let you know exactly what's needed once we've discussed your organization.

Yes. This is a paid, means-tested service for organizations, separate from the limited pro bono work Kristen takes on directly with individual students. If cost is a significant barrier for your organization, mention it when you reach out and options can be discussed.

Sessions are virtual by default. In-person sessions may be possible depending on location and timing. Please let Kristen know if that's a priority and it can be discussed during the consultation. Travel expenses apply on top of the session fee and are booked and paid for by the organization. Note that means-tested pricing applies to the session fee only, not to travel costs.

As early as possible, especially around the fall application season (September–December) and spring planning season (February–April), when demand is highest. Two weeks' notice is the minimum for scheduling; more lead time allows for better preparation, especially for workshops involving essay work.

Common topics include: building a balanced school list, understanding financial aid and need-based scholarships, writing a strong college essay, interview preparation, and navigating the application process as a first-generation applicant. Sessions can be customized to your students' specific needs.
