  • Help you understand the cost of college and how to pay for college with financial aid, scholarships, grants, work study and more.
  • Invite you to participate in college visits, career trips, internships, summer camps, and more to help you learn how to prepare for and access college and experience careers as a scientist, a doctor, or an engineer
  • Assist students with their college applications, searching for scholarships, and completing their financial aid applications
  • Partner with families to help you understand how to support your college dreams
