Stephanie Kennedy Helps Answer
the Question:
What Are my
Children’s
Options for
College?
By Jan O’Kane
I
am delighted to have with me
today, Stephanie Kennedy, President
of Kennedy Educational Services, as
well as the co-founder of My College
Planning Team.
Faith Filled Family: Hello Stephanie,
thank you for being here with us
today.
Stephanie Kennedy: I’m delighted
as well. Thank you!
Faith Filled Family: Could you share
with us some of your background,
and what inspired you to start your
company?
Stephanie Kennedy: I spent 19 years
in college admissions and college
student development administration
that’s the “non-academic” side of
college and universities, and left it to
raise my children full-time. At the point
that they became more independent
in high school, I got “the bug” to get
back into college admissions, and I
found that it was no longer the perfect
fit for me to work in the office and travel.
SO, I explored the college marketing
field a bit and came upon a mentor
who encouraged me to develop my
experience and skills into a business
as what is known as an Independent
Educational Consultant—a coach to
families in the college search and
selection process.
Faith Filled Family: I understand
your company offers a rather unique
service. Is it the only company of it’s
kind?
Stephanie Kennedy: Independent
Educational Consultants are part of
a profession that has been around
for over 50 years. So, it is somewhat
unusual in terms of uniqueness. You
