BYREFERRALONLY

At Oasis College Planning, “By Referral Only” is more than a phrase — it’s our promise. As a trusted college counselor and education support center, we dedicate 100% of our time to supporting students and families through expert guidance and comprehensive counseling services, not marketing or advertising.

This approach allows us to focus completely on helping students find the right college fit and achieve long-term success.

We are sometimes asked, “Does that mean you only work with people who have been referred?” Absolutely not!

“By Referral Only” is a mindset — one built on gratitude, trust, and service.

It means our attention stays where it matters most: helping families through structured college planning and personalized academic planning that delivers results.

Because of this, the families we serve often share their experiences and refer others who can benefit from our career counseling, great academic planning in college, and premium strategies for academic success. Each referral is a reflection of the care and excellence we bring to every student.

Your referrals are the lifeblood of our mission — the greatest compliment we can receive, and a reminder that true growth comes from compassion, not promotion.
