Higher Education

You don’t have to feel overwhelmed by your decision to go to college. Think about your interests, strengths and talents while you engage in the process. Research the colleges and universities that interest you. Find out how to get money to help you pay for college.

The heart of early intervention is academic preparation and proper course selection. Studies show that many students who might be admitted to postsecondary schools are not taking courses at the high school level that would prepare them to do so.

Students, regardless of their postsecondary plans, should be counseled by parents, teachers, and counselors to pursue a challenging program of study in high school. Just because a student isn't planning on college or career training immediately after high school, that doesn't mean he might not change his mind later on. Students should be encouraged to keep "as many doors open" as possible. It is all part of helping them realize postsecondary options when the time is right! Here are some resources that will help you and your parents navigate your college search.
