“The Campus Bound program was so beneficial for our family!  With their guidance, we reduced the cost of college for our daughter by over $12,000 by following their program and investing a few hours of our own!  They make what can be a complex process easy to understand!  I highly recommend that families work with Campus Bound to help reduce the cost of college for their son or daughter!” - Parent, Class of 2022

“Campus Bound introduced my daughter to the college which she ultimately decided to enroll. She received a presidential scholarship ($100,000) to Le Moyne College through the special junior scholarship program that Campus Bound has initiated at St Bernard’s.  We had never even heard of the college until she received the award.  It is not hyperbole to say that Campus Bound found my daughter’s college of choice.  I would encourage every parent to take advantage of this remarkable free program at St Bernard’s.” - Parent,
