The questions families ask before they start.

Pathlio is built for families who want a clearer college-readiness read without committing to a full counseling package. A parent or guardian is usually the buyer, and the report is written so the adult and student can review it together.

You get a personalized strategy report with Fit Matrix, Money Map, Extracurricular Ladder, Summer Advantage, High School Course Plan, and a 90 Day Action Plan.

No. Pathlio is an educational planning product. It helps families understand tradeoffs, spot gaps, and choose practical next steps, but it does not promise admissions outcomes or replace professional advice when your situation needs it.

Yes. The questionnaire is designed so a parent or guardian can complete it alone if needed, then bring the student in later for review or follow-up.

Yes, for students 13 to 17. They can move through account setup and the planning questions, but an adult must complete checkout before the report is released.

Pathlio is not available for students under 13. The flow stops before a new account is created or a purchase begins.

Pathlio is a one-time $29.99 purchase for the full six-section Pathlio Strategy Report for one student.

No. It is a one-time purchase for one student's report. There is no subscription.

After payment is confirmed, Pathlio prepares the submitted answers and makes the finished report available in the dashboard. The public delivery promise is within 24 hours, and most reports are ready much sooner.

Pathlio uses AI-assisted report writing behind the scenes to turn the family's answers into a readable plan. The value is not the AI itself. The value is a more usable strategy grounded in the information the family provides and curated data where available.

No. Pathlio is designed without targeted advertising or remarketing flows. The public privacy notice keeps the data collection posture intentionally narrow.

No. Families should avoid putting Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, medical records, diagnoses, therapy notes, or other highly sensitive details into free-text fields.

Yes, in some cases. Pathlio reports are personalized digital products, so delivered reports are generally non-refundable except where required by law. If a Pathlio processing issue prevents dashboard delivery within 24 hours, you may request a full refund instead of waiting. The Billing & Refunds page has the full policy.

Your account, survey, and payment stay attached to the same student. If a Pathlio processing issue prevents dashboard delivery within 24 hours, we will keep working on the report and show a refund request option on the report status page.

Use the Contact page or the support link in the footer. Billing questions, refund requests, password recovery, and access issues all start there.
