FALL

• Choose course selections appropriate for your college/career interest and that will also meet your high school graduation requirement.
• Take the PSAT again. You will have to pay for it, but you can earn merit scholarship money for college if you score well on this. It is also good practice for the SAT and ACT.
• Discuss with your parents your future educational plans and how they will be financed.
• Develop a list of possible postsecondary schools you would like to attend.
• Attend sessions with college representatives who visit the school. Take advantage of a college day field trip.
• Begin researching sources for financial aid and write for applications (this is very important as scholarship deadlines are time-sensitive).

SPRING

• Take the ACT or SAT. Check with your intended college(s) about the appropriate one.
• Schedule visits with schools that are high on your list of choices.
• Develop a resume.
