Frequently Asked Questions
What is RISE?
RISE Higher Education Inc is your trusted education counselor, simplifying your higher education journey with comprehensive, data-backed counseling and admission services, including expert counseling, test prep, application support, visa assistance, and university transition services.
Catering to both domestic and international aspirants, RISE supports students pursuing full-time degrees, diplomas, or certificate programs abroad – ranging from undergraduate and postgraduate studies to research-based or executive-level programs. Committed to democratizing access to higher education, RISE strives to make quality education accessible and enrich students’ lives.
Seasoned counselors and university mentors are both vital to a student’s success, each playing a crucial role at specific stages. RISE strategically aligns both, ensuring students benefit from the best of both worlds at the right time.
Does RISE only help with partner university admissions?
Although there’s nothing wrong with it, quite the opposite! RISE’s forte is securing admissions to top-tier universities worldwide, prioritizing student choice based on profile and preferences – whether partner or non-partner institutions.
Our pricing strategy follows a student-first approach. With 1,400+ university and college partnerships worldwide, applying to a partner university offers slight economic benefits, as a portion of the cost is covered by the university through placement incentives. However, students are never restricted – they are equipped with the best options and have the freedom to apply where they truly belong, gaining a strategic economic advantage.
Is RISE free?
RISE is not a contributor to the irony of educationists working on charity – quality guidance deserves value. That said, all core counseling, admissions, and visa services are completely complementary. We offer tiered plans with value-added services like essay editing, mentor connect, test preparation, and document review. Plus, your first discovery session is free! Students can even upgrade their plan at any stage based on their needs. Compare plans and find your best fit
What doesn’t RISE do?
We know how important your study abroad journey is, and we believe in honest, transparent guidance. Admissions and scholarships aren’t guaranteed – this isn’t a ‘pay and get an I-20’ scheme. Our students secure admits and scholarships at top institutions based on their profiles, and we only take on applications where we can truly add value. No false hopes, no wasted time or money on unrealistic applications.
Quality mentorship matters. That’s why we don’t connect you with inexperienced mentors who rely solely on their or a few classmates’ essays and self-proclaim as mentors for part-time income.
We don’t believe in gimmicks – no free plane tickets, laptops, ‘Buy One, Get One’ applications, or in-house scholarships for partner institutions. We do not ask for or accept tuition fee transfers into our account. Students must transfer fees directly to the university. At most, we can help you compare the most feasible tuition fee transfer options, but at no point will we ask you to transfer any part of your fees to us.
We strictly do not entertain Change of Agent requests and will not offer any financial benefit for signing Representation forms – these should remain with counselors who have worked hard on them.
Finally, we do not buy or pay for testimonials. Every review and success story comes directly from students who have genuinely benefited from our services.
Our focus is on real, results-driven guidance to help you achieve your goals the right way.
Is it compulsory to take all services from RISE?
RISE offers complete flexibility – you can opt for a bundled experience or select only the services you need. Our platform eliminates the hassle of hopping between multiple providers by integrating test prep, counseling, applications, and financial planning into a one-stop, AI-powered experience – saving you time, money, and effort.
Our biggest strength – and economic moat – is that we provide all counseling and admission services under one roof, ensuring seamless support at every step without getting in your way.
