Hi, Tiffani, It’s wonderful to learn that someone such as yourself is seriously thinking about college and the preparation processes involved. Anyway, your first and most immediate resource for information would be your high school guidance counselor. They usually are privy to a plethora of information about local and out-of-state colleges. Then, you could do as you have exhibited through this Web site; ask others who you believe might be able to offer specific advice for you. Next, scout out local college on your own. In other words, use the Internet to do searches on local colleges and others. As a matter of fact, you once you’ve found out the contact information for the Admissions offices at your local institutions, call them up and set up an on-campus tour. They are free and they are encouraged as to attract potential students. As for financial aid, and I of course don’t know your personal financial issues, but you can go online and complete a Federal Student Aid application, this is best done during or at the beginning of your senior year in high school – But to be sure always do your own leg work, so-to-speak, and ask the financial aid officers at the local colleges for advice. Then again, your high school guidance counselor also should know enough about that to assist you (sometimes they can even help you fill out the paper version of the Financial Aid application). (http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/) *** BE AWARE though, that depending on your personal situation, you might need the most recent tax filing information from both of your parents to complete the form.)*** Anyway, your GRADE POINT AVERAGE and other extracurricular activities, volunteerism, etc. are bonus points when it comes to receiving, if found eligible, any types of grants. So, try to do or continue to do your best during your high school years. And, you probably already know this, but if you are having any trouble in a core subject, rush to your guidance office and request information on how to get tutored. But, you’re probably doing well.J I hope I’ve been able to help you somewhat. Good luck with your remaining high school years and your future college years.J Jane P.S. Don’t be afraid of the mention of college application ESSAYS that may or may not be required as a part of the application process – You can always have someone close or a mentor, guide/edit your essay(s).
