Muslim college counseling service supporting Muslim students with the college application process.

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 like the Muslim Student Profiles project, excellent workshops, and the Fatima al-Fihri Student Fellowship to enlighten families around the college application process. We offer a “pay what you can afford” model to help maximize our impact in reaching out to as many families as possible.

With over a decade of experience working within the admissions space, we have placed students at many of the nation’s top colleges including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, and Columbia.
