Providing elite-level, in-school college counseling services to students in Greater Birmingham.
VIDAL Access embraces an in-school model, meaning we place college counselors within schools so that students can easily and conveniently receive expert-level college counseling support—every day of the week.
VIDAL Access aims to provide low-income students with the level of college counseling support that affluent families seek when hiring a private college admissions consultant.
