“MEFA Pathway is an excellent tool. It's been a great resource to our students as they navigate the college admissions process. We always get great feedback from our students. Some of the features they like are searching colleges and majors, college comparison, and learning about different careers. The resume builder and scholarship search are especially helpful for the students. The website is user-friendly and easy to navigate. Jennifer Bento-Pinyoun and the entire MEFA staff have gone above and beyond to assist and support our school. We can't say enough about this great organization!”
