It's almost here!  College Prep Retreat 2014!

 

The College Prep Retreat Week is a 4-day overnight academy with year round follow-up, designed to ensure that girls are provided the resources, guidance and support to apply and become accepted into institutions of higher education. The fee-free program includes follow up and accountability activities during the participant's school year to ensure each participant achieves the intended outcomes.

 

The goal of the program is to eliminate barriers that would be challenging in the pursuit of higher education and selecting the right school and career track that encourages girls' greatest potential.

 

The College Prep includes:

 

- Career track consultation

 

- Scholarship/Grant Research and Application Training

 

- Financial Aid Education

 

- College Essay Writing Workshops

 

- University/College Identification Consultation

 

- Academic Advisory Support

 

- Year-round follow up through a timeline created during the retreat
