I believe that all students deserve and will benefit from the college and career planning services of Steps To The Future (STTF). Preparing for a 4-year college, 2-year college, technical school, certificate program, or the military requires setting SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely) goals. Working collaboratively with students, parents, and school counselors, STTF guides each student through the admissions process based on his/her individual needs, focusing on the search, selection, application and transition to college.

Assisting college-bound students with all aspects of the admission process , from selecting colleges based on students' needs, reviewing essays, monitoring deadlines and helping with financial aid forms, the mission is to help families eliminate random acts of college planning.

Based in Cumberland County, North Carolina, Steps To The Future uses multiple communication formats to reach students locally and nationwide.
