AMEDF is a not-for-profit organization. Our mission is to ensure college success by providing students and their families quality guidance that is personalized, reliable, objective and affordable in order to make informed decisions about college. Our vision is that every student successfully enrolls at the college that best provides the knowledge to achieve their career aspirations and graduates in the shortest time possible at a cost the family can afford. The AMEDF began in the early 90's as a private community organization in Western New York that promoted access to higher education, and disseminated information on college access and financial aid through community workshops.
