As one of Texas’ premiere firms, Ivy Scholars charges $400/hour, billed in 10-hour retainers.
Candidacy Building: Students generally take 25-35 hours over the course of 4-8 months (juniors), 12-16 months (sophomores), or 18-24 months (freshmen). The average total cost for Candidacy Building ranges from $10,000-$14,000.
College Applications: Students who have not participated in the Candidacy Building program generally take 15-25 hours to complete their first school, and 40-60 hours to complete applications to their target and reach universities, typically between ten and twenty institutions. The average total cost for College Applications ranges from $16,000-$24,000.
Joint Program: When students graduate from the Candidacy Building program into the College Applications program, they generally complete the program in half the time (8-12 hours to complete their first school, 20-30 hours to complete all college applications). This reduces their total average cost by $8,000-$12,000. Average costs for students doing both Candidacy Building and College Applications range from $18,000-$26,000.
Test Prep Students generally take 10-30 hours over 3-9 months, depending on the range between the student’s starting score and goal score. Alex Nelson, Ivy Scholars’ Director of Test Prep, will provide your family a more precise quote after his third meeting with your student.
