ABOUT US

Wintergreen is a major database compiler and provider specializing in college comparison analysis.

Under previous ownership, the Wintergreen Orchard House Hyper Handbook, as it used to be called, became the go-to tool for counselors and students alike to help choose and narrow down top school choices. For decades, the latest hyper handbook could readily be found on the corner of the best counselors’ desks or on the bookshelves of the savviest parents.

As the new owners of Wintergreen, we are excited to have brought our popular tool online in a new interactive format. It’s all the best of Wintergreen, but faster, easier, and more robust than ever before.

WHO WE ARE

The Wintergreen Digital Hyper Handbook is brought to you by the College Funding Service Center, which has successfully guided thousands of college-bound students through their school selection journeys over the years. We were one of the first service organizations to help families understand the balance between college fit and college affordability.

We’ve developed specialized information systems to communicate this important concept to each student we serve. These proprietary systems are an enormous help in the discovery of the college that will academically challenge the student while also being affordable for the family.

The director of the College Funding Service Center, Al Hoffman, has spoken at national conferences on topics ranging from financial aid forms filing to college affordability. He was one of the four founding members and first president of the National College Advocacy Group, a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in New York.

The College Funding Service Center has grown consistently since its inception. To learn more about what we do, complete the form below.
