Since the services provided by StudyHorizons are advisory in nature, and the final decision on the selection of colleges/universities to which the student will apply rests solely with the student and family, it is understood that StudyHorizons does not guarantee acceptance to any particular college/university.  While gratifying success has been experienced in assisting students in attaining college/university placement, no guarantees are implied.  The only person who can impact the college/university's ultimate decision is the student.  StudyHorizons does not serve as an agent for any program or institution and does not accept fees from programs or institutions for referrals or placements of clients.  The primary obligation of StudyHorizons is the welfare of the student.
