We hope you’re staying safe and healthy with all the craziness occurring across the country and the world. Social Distancing is the name of the game, but that doesn’t mean you should distance yourself from figuring out how to pay for college. Unfortunately, that concern will not go away.

| As week two of the Big Shut-In continues, we hope you are all safe, healthy, AND Shut-In.
Our discussions with parents tell us that, in addition to being worried about the virus itself, many have concerns about the future and how it will be impacted by the situation.
Students of all ages are feeling the effects, especially those who are seniors. Helping Your Students Deal with Unexpected Cancellations can guide you through guiding your own kids through the disappointments so many of them are confronted with now and will continue to be confronted with in the coming weeks. |

Writing essays and filling out scholarship applications may not be the activity of choice in your household, but you have to admit that these kids DO have some time on their hands. Here’s our list of scholarships that have April deadlines. A little extra cash for school, whenever it starts up again, could be a bright spot. |

Prepare For What’s Next in Higher Ed
It’s definitely not business as usual out there. The sun may be shining, but there are also big question marks floating above everyone’s heads as well. We all have questions like: - What is the impact of the coronavirus on high school juniors and seniors?
- Is it a good time to consider postponing college?
- What should we expect in education during and after the quarantines?
Mark your calendars for tonight, Thursday, March 26, at 8:30 pm (EST) and make time to attend what will be a very enlightening discussion with higher ed experts Michael Horn and Jeff Selingo.
These highly respected authors and journalists will give us their take (and answer questions) on the potential changes in admissions, college, and careers for high school and college students.
