One all-inclusive package.A lifetime of returns.
The Ivy Institute offers one all-inclusive package: no tiers, no add-on fees, no meeting caps, and no limits on the help, services, or support students need to maximize their chances of acceptance and scholarship potential.
*Internal historical comparisons and outcomes; not a guarantee.
An investment that can return far more than it costs.
Students at The Ivy Institute averaged $54,000 in scholarships per year in The Ivy Institute's 2025–2026 results. When renewable for four undergraduate years, that represents an average $216,000 in scholarships and tuition savings per family.
*Internal The Ivy Institute acceptance and scholarship reporting for 2025–2026. The four-year figure multiplies the annual scholarship average by four and assumes awards renew at the same amount. Admission, scholarships, renewability, savings, enrollment, and career outcomes vary and are not guaranteed.

Build advanced skills, clarify direction, and begin the sustained work that later selective opportunities require.
What the work can include
We earn the second half.
Your student and family choose any eight colleges they want The Ivy Institute to support as their Acceptance Commitment schools. The senior-year fee is split into two $12,500 payments. The first begins the program. The second is due only if the student is accepted to at least one of those eight.
We are confident enough in our process to leave the second half of the senior-year fee at risk with us. If your student is not accepted to at least one of the eight colleges your family selected for the commitment, the second $12,500 payment is not due.
Families are also right to ask how engaged an admissions consultant will remain after the fee has been paid. Each year, families contact The Ivy Institute after beginning with another firm because they feel they are not receiving the involvement or support they expected. Our commitment is designed to keep our incentives aligned with yours: we stay fully involved through strategy, essays, applications, interviews, waitlists, and final decisions, doing everything within our program to pursue the strongest possible outcome through the very end.
Pick any eight.
Before the first submission, the student and family designate any eight colleges they want us to support under the commitment.
We stay accountable.
Our team remains fully engaged from application strategy and writing through interviews, waitlists, decisions, and enrollment support.
We earn payment two.
One or more acceptances among the selected eight makes the second payment due. No acceptance among the eight means no second payment.
Applies to eligible senior-year families under the requirements and terms stated in the signed service agreement. Families designate the eight Acceptance Commitment colleges before the first application submission. The commitment applies to the second scheduled payment and is not a refund of the first payment. Final outcomes may be verified with applicable college decision letters.
One senior-year investment.Four years of scholarship returns.
Important: The 7.2× figure is presented as the early national average across private college admissions consultants. The Ivy Institute’s 8.6× figure divides $216,000 in average four-year scholarships by the full $25,000 two-payment senior-year cost when the second payment is due and assumes the internally reported $54,000 annual average continues for four years. Scholarship awards, renewal, aid displacement, eligibility, college policies, and actual family savings vary and are not guaranteed.

The program flexes upward around coursework, projects, research, competitions, essays, applications, scholarships, and final enrollment decisions.
