Class 101 Turns 25!

25 years ago today, Class 101 started with one man in one community. Now, it has turned into 50 locations across 25 different states.


Last month, we celebrated 25 years of not only helping students get accepted into college, but helping them find their future. Over the past 25 years Class 101 has been able to serve over 8,500 families and students achieve their college dreams while making it more affordable. Here’s to many more years of empowering students, serving families and inspiring greatness…the Class 101 way!

25th Anniversary Celebration


To mark the special occasion, our Bloomington Class 101 office invited students, families, friends, and community members to celebrate. Thank you to the many families and community members who celebrated with us and who have supported us since the beginning! Your presence and support blew us away and we feel so lucky to be part of this amazing community.

Class 101 Bloomington will strive to continue serving our community through the Class 101 mission of empowering students, serving families, and inspiring greatness. Nothing means more to us than seeing students achieve their goals.

Class 101 Scholar Recipient


Each year, Class 101 awards four scholarships, nationwide, to students who use their unique skills to make a difference in their community.

We were thrilled to announce that Class 101 Bloomington student, Gabby, was named a recipient of this competitive award. Owners Randy and Kim Stegemoller had the honor of presenting the check to Gabby as part of the 25th Anniversary celebration.
