What are Students Saying?

"PTK Connect has been an extremely vital tool for me.  Being Able to filter schools by scholarships offered, tuition costs, and even state has been more helpful than I could have imagined.  I’ve been on the PTK site at least once a week to help me dwindle down the colleges on my list to apply for.”   –Loretta Harris, Student Porterville Community College in California

"PTK Connect is one of the most efficient search tools that I have used during my transfer preparation. Its variety of filters has helped me research universities and scholarships to narrow my options, and it is full of critical information that I have utilized to understand the best potential universities for me."   –Luis Medina, College of DuPage in Illinois

“I have enjoyed the possibility of transferring to an out-of-state university, but it was always a scary idea when I didn’t know what was out there and how to afford it.  I would have had a very difficult time financially if I didn’t spend my time at community college first. My outlook on potential colleges has 100% broadened since using PTK Connect.” –Danielle Gilbert, Community College of Allegheny County
