EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
college planning
​
College is an exciting opportunity for young people to explore, learn, and become successful and independent adults.
At 17 years old, students make decisions about colleges, majors, and careers with minimal context and a limited understanding of these choices' impact. Additionally, parents and teens often find it challenging to communicate and relate to one another, especially about their future.
Knowing the importance of this decision and the investment, students need to find the proper guidance to help them identify strengths and interests, create a college list that matches their goals, develop a timeline to meet application deadlines, and offer reassurance throughout the process.
