What do you want to be when you grow up?

Career And College Counseling

If you have thought about attending college or vocational school, come see us! We can:

	Help you locate the school that provides the educational and training programs that you are looking for - the school that is right for you.
	Tell you about the admissions requirements for the colleges and schools that interest you and what to expect once you become a student.
	Help you complete the application for admission. If you qualify as a low-income applicant, we will request that the application fee is waived.

Financial Aid

What About the Money?? Of course, colleges and vocational schools are not free. Not only can we advise you of the costs, but we also help you apply for financial aid to pay these expenses.

Some students will qualify for enough scholarship and grant aid to pay all of their expenses. Other students may be able to pay for some of their expenses through part-time employment on campus. All students qualify, without a credit check, for low interest loans which do not have to be repaid until after college, usually with a ten-year payment plan.
