College Bound Academy has been nothing but beneficial for me. My biggest concern entering my last year of high school was how I was going to be able to pay for college. After a year of applying, I was able to win $41,710 in outside scholarships and $62,710 in total gift aid for this year. I owe my success to the help of the TGR Learning Lab community.”
