Now is the time you should be planning for your college years! Family Academic Programs proudly announces the 2008 – 2009 Pathways to College Series. These programs are specifically designed for CTY Talent Search participants and their families. Let us help guide you through the many exciting decisions that await you. Pathways to College will put you in touch with the country’s finest university professionals and college students in an open forum that explores the college journey. Speakers include experienced admissions representatives, college and career counselors, financial aid experts, student life staff, professors, and college students who will discuss topics ranging from admissions tips to scholarship sources to college selection. Take advantage of this great opportunity for candid insight from the people who best understand the exciting challenges and opportunities ahead. Pathways to College programs generally run from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Students and parents will spend approximately half the day together; the rest of the day will be spent in separate workshops geared toward students’ and parents’ specific interests. Students will attend workshops on choosing a college and writing the admissions essay while parents will attend sessions on navigating the admissions process and applying for financial aid and scholarships. Families will also have the opportunity to explore the host college’s campus together.
