- MELINDA HOBDY-GATLIN, CEO/President –

Psalm 37:23 The steps of a good man are ORDERED by the Lord and He delights in his way.
1 Corinthians 14:40 – Let all things be done decently and in ORDER

Order Your Steps Higher Education Consultation is the product of one parent’s devotion to her son’s education.

In 1997, Melinda Hobdy-Gatlin sought to enroll her eldest son Cedric in college. Initially, she was overwhelmed by all the entrance requirements, enrollment deadlines, and financial considerations before her. Melinda’s general lack of knowledge about college admission practices prompted her to conduct extensive research in the area. What ensued were sure ways to ease the burden of other parents with similar concerns through top-rate higher education consultation.

In their commitment to bring order and simplicity to the process of enrolling youth in colleges and universities, Order Your Steps Higher Education Consultation has assisted many students/athletes in obtaining admission, scholarships, and financial aid.
