Attorney Honoria DaSilva-Kilgore

As an Independent Educational Consultant (IEC) and founder of PCCI, Attorney DaSilva-Kilgore helps focus effort on colleges that academically, socially and financially are most appropriate, which puts the student in the best position to succeed in college and beyond. Attorney DaSilva-Kilgore does this by ensuring that the student is taking the right classes which builds a strong foundation; showing them how to use SAT scores as a tool to their advantage; assisting in researching and finding the right school for each student; scheduling college/university visits and interviews; and assisting with the application process.  

Attorney DaSilva-Kilgore is available to speak at Chambers of Commerce, fraternal organizations, private high schools and other organizations throughout Massachusetts and beyond. Speaking engagements may be in-person or virtual. 

Topics that may be covered include, but are not limited to: 
– The 2nd largest investment – College. Where do you start? 
– College planning – What happens if you DON’T plan? 
– College matching – What is the right fit for your student? 
– Timing. It’s everything. What is the optimal timeline for choosing a college? 
– Covering the cost – The inside story on financial aid and merit aid.
