When it comes to applying to college, knowledge is power. The more you know – about the college, about the application process, about financial aid, about the career – the better off you’ll be finding schools that are a good fit, gaining admission, and making a well-informed decision about where to go.

Through our Summer Internship Programs, you can start your journey immediately.

Join us today and gain real hands-on experience starting an internship with a business in the developing world, working with an attorney on an impending court case of national importance, developing anti-terrorism security strategies, creating a neuroscience research proposal, or partnering with a doctor to diagnose patients in sub-Saharan Africa.

Leadership Initiatives' all inclusive benefits are available immediately upon enrollment to help guide students through the entire college application journey, starting with meeting one-on-one with a college admissions officer to create a unique plan tailored to the student. Through SAT/ACT training with PrepScholar, students can improve their scores by an average of 280 points and 4 points respectively, making them a more competitive applicant. When it comes time to apply, students can submit up to five of their college application essays for Leadership Initiatives to review.

Each year, we hear about outstanding students who did not get accepted into their dream schools. The college landscape is changing, and parents often do not understand how to effectively help their child apply. Even navigating the online college application can be difficult for many students and parents. We are here to help.

"I am so grateful for the editors at Leadership Initiatives for constantly looking through my essays and allowing me to submit a flawless and well-rounded essay to each of my colleges.

I truly believe their staff is one of the main reasons why I will be attending my dream school, the University of Notre Dame, in the Fall. The immense amount of opportunities they provide is unparalleled and incomparable to any other program out there!"

"When I first started the college application process, I had no clue how I was going to write my essays and what I was going to say. I was constantly stressing and worried that I was writing about the wrong things until I got into contact with University Connections.

Working with them on my college essay was the easiest part of my college process because of how helpful they were. They gave great ideas to make my essay stronger and also help with little grammatical errors that I was confused about. Without this help, I believe that I would have never been able to get into some of the schools that I was accepted to."

"Writing my college essay was a lot harder than I thought it would be, and it took a lot longer than what I thought it would. Only a few weeks before my essays were due, I had finally finished them, but no one had looked over them yet.

To say I was panicking would be an understatement, but luckily I sent them to be reviewed by Leadership Initiatives, and they were returned promptly and with incredible suggestions. Not only that but after I fixed the wrong things, they looked over my essay another time to make sure it was perfect!"

"When I first started writing my college essays, I had no idea what I should have been writing about or how to show myself in the best light. I wrote an essay that I thought was pretty decent and submitted it to Leadership Initiatives.

Not only did they revise my essay and leave suggestions, but they also helped me get it to the appropriate word count and helped me rework ideas to create an amazing essay that helped me get into my dream college!"
