Since 2014, NextTier Education is a web- and mobile-based postsecondary readiness platform that delivers critical information on every two- and four-year college in the U.S. The first platform of its kind, NextTier provides each student with a comprehensive college application plan, including a detailed list of every school’s required tasks, step-by-step guidance and deadlines for completing each task in the process. NextTier’s proprietary database also includes information on more than 20,000 scholarships and grants, and helps to successfully match students with the right financial support opportunities. The complexities of preparing and applying for college acceptance can easily bog down students, their parents and even school counselors who are often hampered by a 500:1 student-to-counselor ratio. We created NextTier to greatly simplify the process, deliver an easy-to-follow plan for each student and allow counselors to quickly track every student’s progress and provide active coaching for maximum postsecondary acceptance. We are focused on providing all the information needed for all parties involved; simplifying and managing the entire workflow; and providing centralized communication that allows students, educators and parents to stay informed and participate in the process. NextTier enables school counselors to quickly view every student’s list of deadlines and status in the application process, as well as communicate directly with individual students and groups via email and mobile texts to keep them engaged, motivated and on schedule. At the end of the day, NextTier is making it easier for more kids to successfully find the right academic fit and secure a higher education.
