• Use tools like SCOIR and YouScience to help students connect their strengths and interests to meaningful goals.
• Review transcripts, GPAs, and academic records to advise students on admission strategies.
• Guide college-bound students and families through the application process: application platforms (Common App, UC, CSU, ApplyTexas, CUNY/SUNY, Coalition), test prep planning, essay development, financial aid resources, and counselor recommendations.
• Support non-college-bound students with resume building, interview preparation, and workforce readiness.
• Collaborate with our nationwide team of PSCs, supporting 80+ Fusion Academy campuses across the U.S. and Fusion Global Academy.

• Deep knowledge of U.S. college admissions, including multiple application platforms.
• Familiarity with alternative post-secondary pathways (gap year, vocational, apprenticeships).
• Experience working with neurodivergent students and/or students with learning differences is a strong plus.
• Highly organized, efficient, and a strong communicator—capable of guiding students and families step by step through the college application process.
