It is our privilege to guide students toward colleges or universities tailored to meet their educational goals and aspirations.
Our Story
Aspírian Educational Consulting Firm was created and inspired by Rachel Fretz-Cianci, who has been a leader in the higher education industry for almost 15 years. She has had the privilege of working with students of all ages, from middle school to college graduates. During Rachel’s years working at various colleges and universities, both in admissions and academia, she noticed the challenges in reviewing students’ applications and the time allotted for those reviews. There were times when students who were qualified missed out on their dream schools not because they weren’t qualified, but because they weren’t prepared when it came time to present themselves.
Another reason for the establishment of Aspírian was to provide an avenue to enlighten students to personalize their college search. During Rachel’s years of academic advising, she met with countless students who needed counsel as they were struggling in college. Some students were struggling academically due to misunderstanding the rigor of college academics, or they realized the major wasn’t the right one for them, even after the first semester. There were students who discovered the college was way too big for them, or they really didn’t enjoy living in a busy city or a rural area, or it was too far away from home. Others had to drop out and continue elsewhere due to financial aid issues. We at Aspírian want to help students alleviate those struggles and inspire students to learn about themselves before making a decision that will shape their long-term future academically and financially.
