Guiding Muslim Students Through the College Application Process with Expertise & Excellence

about us

Hidayah Services is a Muslim college counseling service that helps families navigate and master the college application process. Unfortunately, due to inequalities in college knowledge, access, and readiness, many students are misinformed and struggle through the process.

We offer free resources, workshops, and the Fatima al-Fihri Student Fellowship to enlighten families around the college application process. With over a decade of experience working within the admissions space, we have placed students at many of the nation’s top colleges. 

We offer a “pay what you can afford” model to help maximize our impact in reaching out to as many families as possible.

We provide several workshops on the college application process, financial aid, and career readiness for schools, masjids, and community centers.

Fatima al-Fihri Fellowship

We offer an exclusive fellowship for high-achieving, low-income high school students to master the college application process.
