GAP Year Opportunity

For those who do not know, a GAP year is when a student does not attend college right after graduating from high school. Instead the student uses this time to intern, do research, travel, or anything else with the plan to matriculate into college the following year. GAP years are becoming more and more popular, and if done correctly, can be a great experience. A GAP year definitely is not for everyone, and it can be tough to get yourself back in student mode and attend college, but if done right, it can be an incredible experience. I wanted to share this following GAP year experience available through American University in Washington DC that recently came across my desk.

“With over 70 years of experience developing and teaching experiential courses through the successful Washington Semester and Washington Mentorship programs, we are expanding our curriculum to focus on recent high school graduates who are taking a year off for experiential endeavors before starting college. The American University Gap Program will welcome its first class in fall 2014.”

“The AU Gap Program is an opportunity for students to intern in Washington, DC, while taking a class and earning college credit at American University. The program consists of a Mentored Field Practicum (internship) and a topical seminar of the student’s choice in American Politics, Global Business and Trade, or International Affairs.  Students can join the AU Gap Program for a semester or take a full year; earning a total of 7 college credits per semester.”

Introducing Going Merry - Making College Scholarships Easier

Hey Everyone, A big part of the college process for most families is finding a way to pay for the cost of tuition, room and board, meals, books, travel, and other expenses. If the total cost of college isn't terrifying enough, the search and application process for scholarships certainly is daunting, to say the least. Most colleges will offer merit scholarships to students just for applying to college and getting accepted, but for the majority of students, there is still a gap that needs to be met, and financial aid does not usually cover all of that. So because of that, most students are forced to sift through hundreds of outside scholarships, find out which ones they are eligible for and then spend hours completing the scholarship application, often requiring a ton of personal information and writing samples. This hard work often can result in receiving free money to use toward's college expenses, but in general, the entire process is arduous, time consuming, and students

Introducing Micro-Scholarships for College from Raise.me

We are all familiar with the high costs associated with pursuing a college education. But remember, there are many options out there to collect scholarships and financial aid. And some are more out-of-the-box that you may expect. Take Raise.me for example. I recently had the opportunity to meet with a Raise.me rep, a new organization that is partnering with colleges across the country to help families rack up "micro-scholarships" against the astronomical costs of higher education. Starting in 9th grade, students can accrue these small, conditional scholarships from colleges for accomplishments such as getting an 'A' in science class, making the Varsity swim team, being involved in community service, partaking in various extracurricular activities, and much more. If you wind up attending a school you've selected through Raise.me, the micro scholarships you've built up will be applied to your tuition. The process is very simple; go to their website , creat

2018 Admissions Report & the Importance of Crafting the College List

March Madness most commonly refers to that pretty big NCAA basketball tournament that catches our attention for a few weeks, but it can also describe this time of year in college admissions. The last two weeks of March is generally when most colleges send out their decision letters to anxious, yet hopeful seniors, dreaming about celebrating acceptances to their top choices. However, over the years, as more and more students apply to colleges with the ease of the Common Application and Coalition, not to mention an increase of international students, many colleges have become much more competitive. Schools that would have been a slam dunk admit in years past, are becoming as tough to get into as sinking a half court shot. Because of this, and looking towards the future, knowing that it will most likely continue to become more and more selective, it is essential to find colleges that are less selective, but still have everything you need in a college to be happy. When crafting a college
