Pathways to College Series

Pathways to College Series is designed for Talent Search participants in grades 9-12 to help students and their parents make informed decisions regarding college. Pathways will help guide you through the many exciting decisions awaiting. Pathways to College puts you in touch with university professionals and college students in an open forum that explores the college journey. Speakers include experienced admissions representatives, college counselors, financial aid experts, student life staff, 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. Cost: $95 per person

The Day...
Pathways to College programs generally run from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Students and parents spend approximately half the day together. The remainder of the day is spent in separate workshops geared toward students’ and parents’ specific interests. Students attend workshops on the admissions process and writing the personal essay while parents attend sessions on the admissions process and applying for financial aid and scholarships. Families will also have the opportunity to explore the host college’s campus together. Continental breakfast and lunch are included unless indicated otherwise.

What participants are saying about Pathways...
We attended last year. Absolutely loved it. The price is a bargain for the plethora of information we received. It really did allow us to calm down from all of the swirl of information from other parents. My son is a Freshman in high school this year and we believe that he is on a great track to position himself for whatever college he chooses in the future. Thank you CTY for this very valuable program.
