College Planning for Seniors
Here are the top 3 things seniors should be doing this month:
1. Start applying to your top college choices. Visit the college's website to begin the application process.
2. Attend a College Fair. If you missed the Cuming County College and Military Fair, check out this list to register for upcoming College Fair opportunities.
3. Start exploring and applying for scholarships. Use the Wisner-Pilger Scholarships List to search for scholarships. Make sure you are logged into your school Google account to access the list. Explore scholarship opportunities on college websites and make note of important scholarship due dates.
