As junior and senior students are wrapping up their high-school careers, many are looking forward to moving on to higher education. But intending to go to college and actually getting there and succeeding are entirely different things. And we don’t mean simply academically; that part of the equation has already been years in the making.
We’re talking about the life skills required to navigate the entire college experience. Whether students are aiming for a community college, a state university or an Ivy League institution, college planning can be exciting—and highly stressful. There’s the seeking out and applying for the right school, tracking down student loans and scholarships, navigating enrollment, securing student housing, striking a healthy study/social life balance…it can all be a bit overwhelming.
PESA is here to help. As part of our High School and Beyond Program, the College Readiness Workshop helps students with the aforementioned challenges and more. And the best part? They’re offered to students at no charge.
