Start Persist AdvantageAlready Enrolled in College?
Students already on campus start with Momentum, the 12-month engagement designed for the persistence work that matters most once classes begin. Same EQ-i 2.0 and Maxwell DISC foundation, sized for where the student actually is. Skip Launch and start where the work meets you.
Enroll in In-College Momentum $2,497, one-time payment
Six dedicated check-ins over 6 months designed around your student's persistence progress. Each session gives you the strategies, language, and clinical insight you need to be a genuine partner in their success without overstepping. Particularly valuable for first-generation families and for parents of students 18 or older where the student's debrief belongs to them.
At College Edge, every student is treated as the rightful owner of their own emotional intelligence work. For minor students not yet enrolled in college, parents are full partners in the debrief and receive a dedicated Parent Briefing.
For students 18 and older, OR students already enrolled in college, the debrief belongs to the student. Parents may attend only with the student's written consent. This is how serious clinical work treats the person being assessed: with respect, and in compliance with the legal data ownership rules under FERPA.
Parents who want structured involvement have a dedicated path through the Parent Partner Add-On. Full details are in our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
Launch is the summer bridge. Momentum and Persist Advantage are 12-month engagements with annual renewal eligibility at 10% off original price.
