For districts, networks, and college access organizations
Keep your students. Keep the relationship.
One model hires people. The other builds what your staff can run. The difference shows up in who your graduates call when they need help.
Two ways to support graduates
Hire coaches from outside, or give the staff you have the tools to keep up.
Your graduates build a relationship with somebody. The question is who.
A service adds people. Software adds reach to the people you have. That choice decides who holds the relationship, who learns from it, and what is left when the contract ends.
- Your team Knows the student through graduation
- Handoff at graduation The relationship transfers
- A Beyond 12 coach Someone new to the student
What the coach learns leaves with the contract.
- Your team Knows the student through graduation
- The same team, after Texting and tasks, from a familiar name
What your team learns stays on the student record.
Both models support graduates; the difference drawn here is who holds the relationship, which is the choice this page is about. Based on public information.
"Overgrad has made college planning more accessible for scholars and more intuitive for counselors. By streamlining data and providing clear, real-time insights, we're able to move from static reporting to timely action—improving both the advising experience and our ability to support scholars."
The platform reflects their work. The outcomes belong to their team.
How Overgrad differs
Your team, your relationships, your approach, with the reach to cover everybody.
The text comes from someone they know
With Beyond 12, a student hears from a coach they met after graduation. With Overgrad, they hear from the counselor who sat with them through their applications.
- Outreach from staff the student already knows
- The same relationship carries into college
- What your team learns stays with your team
- Nothing depends on an outside provider
Nothing gets handed off
Beyond 12 starts after high school. Overgrad holds the same student record through planning, applications, enrollment, and the years after, so nobody has to be caught up.
- Applications tracked in one place
- Financial aid steps followed through
- Persistence checked every term
- Employment outcomes where available
Change something on Tuesday, not next quarter
A service runs its own model on its own schedule. Overgrad lets your team set the workflows, the words, and the timing, and change them the day you decide to.
- Workflows and triggers you set
- You choose what the message says and when it goes
- Changes take effect without a ticket
- The system matches how your program already works
Software costs less than headcount
Coaching is priced per student because it takes a person's time. Overgrad is priced per enrolled student with volume pricing, so the rate goes down as you grow. Tell us your enrollment and you get a real number within one business day.
- The rate drops as enrollment rises
- Unlimited staff accounts at every tier
- Setup, migration, and training included
- No long-term service contract
Which one fits
Beyond 12 works if:
- You need coaching capacity you do not have and cannot hire
- You would rather buy the outcome than build the practice
- You are fine with the relationship living outside your organization
Overgrad works if:
- You want the relationship to survive a staff change or a vendor change
- You want what your team learns to stay in the building
- You want the capability to still be there when the contract ends
Both approaches help students. The question is who your graduates call in November, and whether that person still works for you.
