Ethical Counsel

HECA members discuss appropriate educational options with students and families and make referrals to other members/organizations when indicated.

Respect

HECA members respect the student/school relationship. They strive to work as a team with other independent consultants, high school counselors and related professionals. They respect students’ work and encourage student ownership of the application process.

Integrity

HECA members clearly communicate what services they offer and do not guarantee admissions or financial aid results. HECA members act in the best interest of the student.

Confidentiality
