Preparing for college isn’t just for seniors. All high school students should focus on doing well in school - a cumulative GPA (from grades 9 - 12) is used on college applications and scholarships, build good habits to stay on track academically, get involved in extracurricular or community activities, and find a supportive system of people that want you to succeed. Explore career options and what it costs to get there (https://collegecost.ed.gov/net-price). Start saving for college (https://www.collegechoicedirect.com/), and be on the lookout for financial aid opportunities - FAFSA opens October 1st! #whyapply #CollegeGo #FAFSA
