About Me
Dr. Lisa Snyder, Founder
I’m a career educator with over 20 years of experience.
My Story
I am a certified teacher who holds a Doctorate in Instructional Leadership.
For the past 15 years, I’ve worked in higher education, where I’ve had oversight of numerous areas, including enrollment, admissions, financial aid, and academic quality.
I’m also a mother of two teen daughters. They’re navigating the same college selection and application process your child is going through. I understand the stress and anxiety that accompany such a big decision and the strain this process puts on your relationship with your child.
I know what you’re feeling. I’m feeling that too.
I founded Collegiate Success to help families navigate the college application process. I work with your child to find the college that best meets their academic and social needs and your financial ones.
My goal is to remove the stress and uncertainty so you can enjoy this exciting time together.

Is your child struggling with…
- Making a successful transition to college?

It’s okay; you’re not alone. I help parents like you so they can feel confident in the college application and financial aid processes—saving time and money. I also help students like yours who find the transition to college challenging and need extra support.
