Best Investment!
Absolutely the best investment! Both of my high schoolers were accepted to just about every school that they applied to. Belinda is very professional, knowledgeable and both kids loved working with her. Very good experience.

I would highly recommend using Steps To The Future if you are trying to send someone to college or if you are trying to go yourself. Belinda helped me and my family make some very important decisions about my son’s scholastic future. We are very grateful for the guidance that she provided and the resources she provided us with.
There are a lot of things to consider going through this process and if you do not have the right information, things can be very difficult.
We appreciate Belinda taking the time to explain these things and helping us make the best decision for our son! Thanks again for all your help!

Coaching Sessions
My son is in 10th grade and he already started his coaching sessions with Belinda. He is a strong soccer play and I don’t want him to be dragged to a college that offers him a scholarship and ends up doing something he won’t be happy doing. College is a big deal for us and for him and I couldn’t be happier to have signed up for this program with Belinda and have the peace of mind he is in good hands and has the right tools to take him to the future.
He is very excited about this coaching and tells all his friends about this. He looks forward to every meeting with her and works diligently on the assignments she hands to him. This is the best investment I can do up to this point for his future. I am very happy about this!!!

Thanks and Appreciation
The past year was full of excitement and stress for me since my daughter was a High School Senior; all the demands of her completing a great senior project, applying for colleges, completing the final college entrance exams, senior pictures, etc. and the costs related to all of those events. As my head became overloaded with “to do’s” I had the pleasure of listening to a presentation by Dr. Wilkerson (Steps to the Future, LLC) to our Youth Group at church. During this presentation Dr. Wilkerson highlighted the steps to preparation for applying to colleges, resources to guide you through the steps and offered individual meetings with both the parents and the youth. This presentation was a beacon to me during what had become a constant “storm of thoughts” in my brain. Dr. Wilkerson met with my daughter and assisted her in actual action to complete items that were needed for her college and scholarship applications. Dr. Wilkerson also guided me to establish a schedule to address all items needed in support of my daughter’s entry into college.
My most exciting day was when we received notification of my daughter’s acceptance to her #1 choice of schools and then a huge knot grew in my stomach when we saw the projected costs per year at the university. Dr. Wilkerson connected us to many, many references (hard copy and electronic) for a large variety of scholarships, reviewed essays and worked with us tirelessly to get my daughter into the university. Dr. Wilkerson also provided guidance and recommendations on completing the required FAFSA application. Thanks to Dr. Wilkerson’s extensive knowledge of all the requirements, expert technical assistance with so many facets of the process and continuous support, my daughter is enjoying her freshman year as a student in her chosen university. Our family cannot say enough to convey our thanks and appreciation to Dr. Belinda Wilkerson and Steps To The Future, LLC!

Instrumental Help
The Steps To The Future program was instrumental in assisting my son in selecting a college. The researched information on colleges and universities on his list gave him the assurance that his decision would be solid.
Dr. Wilkerson was dedicated to working with my son on a weekly basis through Skype meetings ensuring he had all the information needed to make an informed decision.
Dr. Wilkerson was very knowledgeable about the process for submitting essays, scholarships, and financial aid . She shared many resources with me from the parent perspective that educated and prepared me. Even though we were out of state she did not let miles be a barrier to assisting my son. The process from high school student to college student is a stressful endeavor but with the insight Dr. Wilkerson provided him made the process more manageable. Her mentorship, encouragement, and patience served as the catalyst for him selecting a college that was best suited for his individual needs and educational goals.
Dr. Wilkerson’s program was an integral part of my son’s journey to higher education as he was accepted to several colleges and universities and awarded various scholarships through his hard work and her guidance.
I recommend Steps To The Future to every child that is interested in attending college. I have another son entering middle school next year that I will be enrolling with Dr. Wilkerson.
