Time and Location Change for the October FAFSA Workshop!

We have an exciting update about the previously scheduled October 25th FAFSA Completion Workshop: we're joining forces with the National Association of College Admissions Counselors (NACAC) National College Fair! Students who attend will have access to the FAFSA Completion Workshop hosted by The Alexander Advantage, College prep Roundtable, and Field Teen Center--as well as a number of other college readiness resources. This event is FREE but requires registration in advance. This is separate from the Teen Center's sign-up link, which you may have previously completed.

Stand Out for College is hosting a series of free Zoom workshops on the topic of Successfully Navigating College Admissions this fall.

These workshops will explore current college admissions trends, admissions strategies, the changing test-optional environment, the importance of researching and visiting colleges to find schools that can be a good fit, a timeline and other action steps to make this fall productive and help reduce the stress around the college admissions process-- and more! This program is recommended for parents and their high school teens and is a detailed and strategic overview of what students should focus on for a successful college admissions process and how to reduce the stress around it.
