Here's What They Said: College Essay Application Program

Our College Essay Application Program pairs students with experienced writing mentors who help them craft thoughtful, authentic college essays. With guidance on structure, tone, and storytelling, students are able to clearly communicate who they are and what they’ve overcome.

“Apart from the money that helped me get stuff I couldn’t, the most helpful part of this program was when Judy, through the College Essay Application Program, read through my PIQs and told me what I should fix or improve on. It helped me a lot because it improved my writing skills—it was helpful information that I can even pass down to my younger brother.”
– Gabriel, SDSU

“Being able to connect with a mentor helped me navigate the application process, as well as being able to work with Judy on my college applications. Also, being able to use my sponsorship money to fund summer programs.”
– Sabrina, Yale

“The Judy’s program helped me so much when applying to colleges.”
– Jude, UCSD

“Judy’s college essay writing assistance and the laptop was invaluable to me and my education.”
– Andy, UCSD
