HECA/Niche Survey of Independent Educational Consultants - 2020

HECA and Niche have teamed up to bring your expertise and experiences with students and families to college leadership. We're curious how the students you work with are approaching their college search differently and what changes you have noticed. This survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete and anonymous results will be shared in January.
