  • Why purchase Foundations for Success?

    Because the first semester of college sets the tone for everything that follows. Most students struggle silently—overwhelmed by academic pressure, time management, and the emotional weight of being on their own for the first time. They don’t ask for help until they’re already behind. Foundations for Success addresses these issues and helps prevent these struggles while giving parents peace of mind.
