Program areas at Barrier Breakers

Provide high-touch college and law school admissions advising to students of all backgrounds, races, and income levels from former admissions deans, directors, and professional writers. We specialize in working with first-generation and marginalized students who are less likely to enroll in higher education and more likely to take on excessive debt if they do.
