Give the Gift Matching Program

Pro Bono Admissions Advising for Low-Income Families

Every student deserves a counselor to walk with them every single step of this process, no matter their background, their income, or their life circumstances.

At Barrier Breakers®, Inc., we work hard to make sure that we’re increasing access to first-generation, minority, and immigrant students. That’s why we’re proud to offer our Give the Gift Matching Program.

For every college counseling package purchased, we gift a pro bono package to a student who qualifies for Free and Reduced Meal Service at no cost to that family.

How It Works

When you submit a registration form to work with us, you will automatically be added to our interest waitlist. We will reach out to families for a free info session and discuss if our college advising is the best fit for your family! If we determine that it is a fit we will add you to our waitlist and let you know as soon as we have availability to match you with an advisor.

Who is eligible: Current juniors in high school (class of 2026) who qualify for free or reduced lunch (proof required) and adults returning back to school or going to school whose family income meets the same income guidelines.

“Sydney has worked with two of my children, focusing mostly on essay and interview preparation. She makes the most of every session by providing effective feedback, asking pertinent, focused questions, and providing targeted advice. She has a wealth of knowledge and has been instrumental in helping both me and my children successfully navigate the complexities of the application process. Most importantly, she focuses on the whole child, not just the college application. She has always taken the time to truly get to know my children and has encouraged and counseled them based on their unique and individual needs.”
