When we started researching academic advising, it was overwhelming. We interviewed over 14 companies but couldn’t find the right fit—until we met Sunny. StrivePath was a refreshing change. Not only are they locally based, but they truly listen and understand our family’s goals. The experience has been positive, reducing stress and saving time. My daughter feels heard, and her interests are being considered for summer internships, scholarships, and more. Our counselor is responsive and understands the balance we’re looking for. We're grateful to have found StrivePath and excited about the next steps with them as our true partner.

My sophomore daughter has had the pleasure of working with Cole and Sunny Grewal at StrivePath, and it's been an incredibly positive experience. From assisting with course selection to homework, study habits, finals preparation, and even summer planning – their dedication is truly commendable. We're genuinely pleased with the level of care they've provided for my daughter. What can be a stressful process has become something she looks forward to, and she feels a sense of relief after each meeting.
