    Students can expect a lot of research to complete a thorough college evaluation. Use this tool to track the information that include:

 

i:

career interest goals;

college name and address information;

 

iii:

college comparison sheet;

  2. see tool: College Financing Spreadsheet
    Finding ways to pay for college can be a daunting task for both student and parent. The goal is having a spreadsheet that lists options and links for scholarships, grants, work-study programs, government student loans, parent PLUS loans, private student loans, and other financing options. The spreadsheet tracks and calculates financing options for all academic levels.

  3. see tool: Achieving Success in College and Beyond
    Success in life begins with 3 ingredients: planning, discipline and action. Planning is the ingredient for designing the goal plan. Discipline is strengthening the character that motivates the person to act. And action is the execution of the goal plan using time and task management.

    These three ingredients are summarized in a book that students can download and use. Use our summary guide to review the three ingredients.
