What Parents & Students Say
"Thanks to NextU!, I earned a full-tuition, 4-year scholarship to Boston University—where I'm now pursuing my dream as a Marine Science major. The support and encouragement from my coaches gave me the confidence to push myself and stay focused on what really mattered. Even now, as a college student, NextU! continues to support me with internships and new opportunities. Their commitment doesn’t stop at acceptance—it’s a partnership for the long run."
Sam Almond
Received a 4-year full tuition scholarship to study Marine Science at Boston University
Alana Manuel
Received a 4 year scholarship to Howard University and over $30k outside scholarships
"I love all the programming and resources NextU! Offered to help me find out which college would be my best fit. The most accurate way to describe what NextU! offers would be to say they provide COMFORT during one of the most stressful times of your life. Not only did I get 4 year scholarships to Harvard University and University of Chicago, I received over $30,000 in outside scholarships."
"With NextU! I was able to expand my studies in high school with a dual enrollment program at Middlesex Community College and we found my best fit undergraduate program at the University of Connecticut. I am so excited to start school this August and continue working with NextU! as I begin looking for internships and start a professional career."

Clarity. Confidence. A Plan for What’s Next.
Not every student is sure about college— and that’s okay. At NextU!, our Career Guidance Package is designed for recent graduates who are still figuring it out. Whether they’re exploring career paths, considering entrepreneurship, or looking to launch a creative project, we guide them through a step-by-step process to discover what fits them.

Self-discovery and career interest assessments

Passion project and entrepreneurship guidance
Real-time help with internships, certifications, and launch plans
We help them find direction and launch a career. With dedicated 1:1 support, custom roadmaps, and long-term resources, your teen will leave this program with more than a résumé— they’ll leave with a vision and the tools to bring it to life.
This is more than career prep— it’s future readiness.

Other Families Are Already Taking Action
At NextU!, we support students and their families in exploring passions, purpose, and possibilities during one of the most important transitions of their lives. While we offer expert guidance through every step of the college admissions process, our true focus is helping each student discover what path is right for them—whether that means college, a gap year, a career track, or something entirely unique. We believe the best outcomes come from choosing the best fit, not just the most prestigious option.
The majority of our clients come from referrals from our current and past clients.
Limited Spots Available Each Semester
Our programs are high-touch and customized. To give each student the attention they deserve, we limit how many families we work with per season.
Don’t wait. Let’s talk about what’s next.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s included in the free consultation?
Your free consultation includes a one-on-one meeting with the NextU! team—along with the student and their parent or guardian. We’ll review the student’s academic background, extracurricular activities, current interests, and future goals. This conversation helps us determine which of our programs would be the best fit—and most importantly, whether NextU! is the right next step in your young adult journey.
How Is NextU! Different From A School Counselor?
While school counselors play an important role, they often have large caseloads and limited time to provide personalized support. Their focus is typically centered on course selection and academic requirements.
At NextU!, we take a holistic, student-centered approach—guiding students not just academically, but also through dual enrollment options, certifications, workshops, community engagement, career exploration, and personal development.
What truly sets us apart is our long-term commitment. Even after a student moves on to their next step—whether that’s college, a career, or a creative path—our support continues. Through the NextU! Alumni Newsletter and Network, students gain access to ongoing resources, career opportunities, and a supportive community that grows with them.
Who will we be working with at NextU!?
Every client at NextU! begins with a personalized consultation led by our Head Success Coach and CEO, Kina Lane. From there, each student is matched with a dedicated personal coach who will guide them throughout their journey based on their unique goals and needs.
If you choose to add services like test prep or tutoring, your student will also be paired with a specialized Standardized Academics Mentor who focuses on ACT/SAT success and academic skill-building.
At every step, your student is supported by a team of experts who are fully invested in their growth, confidence, and future.
When is the right time to start working with NextU!?
NextU! is designed to meet students wherever they are in their journey. Ideally, we recommend beginning at least one year before a major life transition—such as college applications, graduation, or a career launch. This gives us time to build a personalized roadmap and guide the student through their next steps with confidence.
For high school students, we typically begin working with Sophomores and Juniors to provide ongoing navigation and coaching. However, we also welcome Seniors who are ready to commit to an accelerated coaching plan.
Whether you're early in the process or facing a fast-approaching deadline, we’re here to support your success.
How much does NextU! cost?
Our packages are structured around a semester-based schedule, allowing us to provide consistent, personalized support over a 6-month period.
Pricing depends on the level of support you choose and your individual goals.
✔ Academic and Career Guidance plans start at $2,880 per semester.
✔ Our most comprehensive, high-touch package is $4,800 per semester.
During your free consultation, we’ll help you determine which plan best fits your needs and timeline—no pressure, just clarity.
