Helping High School Seniors Go To College...

1st Step: Search College Programs

We invite your high school seniors to use our college search directory for colleges and universities, community colleges, online colleges, career schools, and other educational institutions -- all neatly indexed without advertising clutter and user registrations. They simply link and select the kind of institution they would like to attend by location and/or by type.

2nd Step: Use these FREE College Planning Tools

View these four nifty tools that students can use to plan, search, track, and finance their post high school college and career plans. These tools are available FREE for students and high school administrators without user registration:

see tool: Going to College Checklist

Let's start with our summary guide that displays in calendar chronology the tasks student must follow to prepare, search, and complete college admission requirements. The checklist is net-connected to our college center with five important guides:

        i: College Prep: help in analyzing job trends and career futures

        ii: College Search: use our comprehensive search directory for colleges and universities, career schools, online schools, etc.

        iii: College Admission: guide for application submission, essays, letters of recommendations, etc.

        iv: College Financing: review the financial aid process to pay for college

        v: College Start: find what you need to move and start college

School counselors and administrative personnel can use this checklist as an interactive guide to council students on college plans and search.

see tool: Tracking Wizard

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;

        ii: college name and address information;

        iii: college comparison sheet;

        iv: college entrance requirements;

        v: scholarship search requirements; and more.

The tool can be downloaded to the student's desktop. They can use the desktop wizard for collecting information or print out tracking sheets to record by hand.

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.

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.

3rd Step: Add These Tools Links to Your Web Site

All of these tools and search directories are available FREE without student registration of any kind. You simply click, open, and download any of the tools that you find helpful. And best of all, none of these tools or search directories have advertisements. They are completely clutter free of target ads.

May we request that you add these tools link to your college planning section on you high school web site. We offer a valuable resource for high school counselors to assist college-bound students.
