FAQs
How do I get started with College Mapping?
Please send us an email to set up the initial appointment. At this meeting, we will discuss the high school process, extracurricular and community service plans and the student and family goals for college planning. What will College Mapping do for me?
The College Mapping services will guide your student through the PLAN process, including: an evaluation to determine direction and passions, definition of college goals and development of a detailed road map to follow through the college application process. |
Beginning with a high school plan to include course selections, extracurricular and community service activities, students will have a clear path to follow. College Mapping provides the structure, guidance and motivation to develop a college-ready applicant. As each high school year progresses, we work with the students and parents to build a stronger college application resume. Our goal is to place the student in the best position of readiness for the college application season which begins in June before the student's senior year.

As a parent, how will we work with College Mapping consultants?
Parents may be as involved as they would like to be through this process. For some families, guiding your student through college applications is played more successfully by an outside advisor than a parent who is emotionally involved. After each student meeting, an update will be sent to parents to keep them informed of the progress against the PLAN.

How will College Mapping help me with financing the expenses of colleges and universities?
College Mapping services include a review of the financial options available to you. These include FAFSA (Federal Aid), Grants, Loans and will provide a map of the many scholarships available to you. For students with high academic achievements, many of the privates will offer merit-based scholarship assistance and can sometimes make the private college expense very reasonable compared to your local University. Additionally, students will be encouraged to apply to the local scholarship opportunities available through the high school counseling office.
