| | Attention Parents of High School Juniors:BUILD THAT (COLLEGE) LIST!
The College List is the foundation (the nuts and bolts, if you will) of the college admissions process, and building it is a lot like building a house…there’s a large amount of inspection (of parents’ finances) and introspection (of a student’s needs and wants).
Understandably, there is a right way and a wrong way to go about the construction, and the wrong way can leave you out in the cold with a list that isn’t appropriately matched to the needs, abilities and desires of your family and student.
The good news is that we’re bringing in the experts, Marisa Meddin (of Talk College To Me) and Russ Vitale (of Destination College Success), who will walk you through the steps they use to build college lists with their private, one-on-one clients.
Our “builders” will teach you how to put together the perfect college list with your child in just FIVE DAYS!
1. Participate in the challenge (Remember, it’s free!).
2. Join our pop-up Facebook Group (this is where all the action will take place)
The challenge (and step by step instructions) starts this Sunday, February 24th, at 8:30pm EST.

What type of ships help students sail into college?
SCHOLARSHIPS!
Merit Scholarships, if you can get them, are great, but colleges only have so much money devoted to them. That is why many students consider financing their studies with private scholarships. (Private scholarships are simply scholarships funded by private companies or entities.)
There are quite a few scholarship search engine websites to help you search for additional aid. They run the gamut, and we’ve rounded up a list of the best of the best for you in “Best Scholarship Search Sites.” |
