College Prep
A series of Scholarships are available to prospective students out there. While our primary goal is to help you find ways to pay for college and navigate a perplexing financial aid application process, we’re also here to help you get into, prepare for, and adapt to college life. You should be briefed on all aspects of college life and the preparation required while you’re still in high school to get yourself ready for college life.
College prep doesn’t start when you’re already on campus, but while you’re still in high school. If you start the college planning process early, you’ll be on the right track toward figuring out what you want out of your college search and what you need to do to get to college.
Campus Life
Once you’re actually at college, you’ll have a lot to get used to in order to adjust to campus life. If you’re not sure what to expect of that first year in college – and don’t worry, few freshman do. It’s like to live off a college student’s budget, and while it is tough, it’s also possible without getting into too much credit card debt. Knowing what to expect of campus life before you get there is a good strategy that will leave you with more time to get excited about the college experience, rather than worry about it. Balancing Work & College is of paramount importance for your success.
• Choosing the Right School and Applying
Study Skills
Working on your study skills starts well before college. The college application process alone is demanding and time-consuming, and requires that you know the basics of standardized testing. Yes, you’ll have an impressive score to boast on your college application if you studied hard and prepared well, but you’ll also have a better understanding of college-level exam material.
• The studying certainly doesn’t stop once you’ve been accepted to your intended college. If you have some experience with Advanced Placement coursework from high school, you may be feeling better about the workload you’ll be expected to carry once you’re on campus, especially if you did well enough in those classes to receive college credit for your hard work.
