To start, or continue your college planning. Do not wait until the beginning of your senior year to start this process. You will have TOO much to do and you will miss out on things…like scholarship money. So what do you need to do???
Here are your assignments:
- Start narrowing your college choices . Tour a few schools this summer. Visit EducationQuest and search the Internet for information about colleges that interest you.
- Update your Activities Resume on the EducationQuest web site. Include extracurricular activities, honors, awards and part-time jobs.
- Look for scholarships . Free resources include your guidance counselor and ScholarshipQuest at www.educationquest.org, which has over 1,700 local and statewide scholarships. Pay attention to the scholarships seniors are earning so you can apply for the same awards.
- Find a summer job to help pay for college expenses . Ask prospective employers if they offer education assistance programs.
