Make sure you check the Financial Aid page! IMPORTANT! Make sure your teenager has taken or has signed up to take either the SAT or the ACT. These are national exams required for entry into most colleges. (See http://www.paschalhs.org/academics/sat.htmll or http://www.act.org/aap/regist/actdates.htmll.)
A good site for you to examine Georgia colleges and get important information is located at http://www.gcic.peachnet.edu. The user ID is dadechs and the password is gcis1480. At this site, look under Education and Training and then go under the Georgia Schools section. It will tell you almost everything you need to know about the school, including types of courses, scholarships and housing availability. Other good sites for general information are http://collegeispossible.org/ and http://www.wiredscholar.com. Check the next page for more scholarship web sites. |
You may want to check with your teenager's guidance counselor about amount the amount of credits earned, PSAT and ASVAB scores, exit exam scores, and any booklets or brochures they have about colleges and financial aid.
