College Planning Building Your College List

Lynnwood, WALocal News

On November 15, 2018, Andrea Main from Main Education Consulting will conduct a seminar titled "College Planning: Building Your College List" at the Lynnwood Library. Targeted at families with students in grades 8 to 11, this workshop aims to help parents and students find colleges that match their academic, financial, and social preferences. The urgency of this topic is highlighted by alarming statistics indicating that fewer than 40% of students graduate within four years, making the right college choice crucial for maximizing on-time graduation rates. Attendees will gain insights into utilizing Sno-Isle Library resources and free online websites as valuable tools in their college search process. The event is free and supports families in making informed decisions that can influence their children's future educational success.

By focusing on finding the perfect college fit, families can enhance their students' chances of completing their degrees. This seminar represents a significant local resource for families navigating the complex college selection process. Participants will leave with practical strategies and a clearer understanding of how to approach college planning effectively.
