• Understand how education can change their lives
  You have probably heard that going to college is important, but we will provide a brief set of facts to prove that point.
  
  
• Choose their education path
  Learn what to consider when selecting a college. Whether you are interested in a four-year college, community college, or career and technical education, hear about your options and how to decide which is right for you.
  
  
• Learn how to pay for college
  Worried about what it will cost to attend college? Learn about the different types of financial aid, including scholarships, and the importance of filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
  
  
• Identify what steps they can take now to prepare for education beyond high school
  Between family financial aid discussions, searching for scholarships and participating in college tours, learn how our grade-level checklists will help you stay on track.
