A.J. Kognos Consulting
A.J. Kognos is an initiative born from my interest in students' professional development.
For years I informally helped students with parts of their school and scholarship applications. Now I am aiming at systematizing these efforts based on guidelines and ethical procedures established by National Association for College Admissions Counseling (NACAC).
I believe that students should not wait until their senior year to start thinking about college. Reaching out early will save you lots of trouble later in the process!
