Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month
Each February, young adults and their loved ones nationwide raise awareness about teen dating violence through Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month (TDVAM). This annual, month-long effort focuses on advocacy and education to stop dating abuse before it starts.
The SAT Question-and-Answer Service
The SAT Question-and-Answer Service (QAS) is an essential resource for students seeking to enhance their test performance strategically. Priced at $18 and available for specific test dates, the QAS offers a detailed analysis of your performance, including a test booklet copy and a report outlining your responses, correct answers, and question difficulty levels. This comprehensive breakdown aids in identifying strengths and weaknesses across sections, such as reading, writing, math, and the essay. Moreover, the report lists incorrectly answered questions along with the correct responses, serving as a valuable learning tool. For more information on the QAS, visit: https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/sat/scores/score-verification/services.
Career-Personality-and-Task-Preference-Assessments
Don't become complacent with uncertainty about your post-secondary plans. Stay proactive, pursuing current interests, exploring new areas, and showcasing commitment to education. The competitive admissions process requires focus and motivation to improve admission chances. If unsure about future plans, take career assessments for clarity on strengths, interests, and skills. These assessments, including personality and task preference evaluations, guide you toward a fulfilling career path.

Federal Work-Study
Federal Work-Study is a program designed to assist undergraduate and graduate students with financial difficulties paying for their education. The program provides part-time jobs on and off-campus, enabling students to earn money while enrolled in school. The program prioritizes community service work and jobs relevant to the student's study area.
Previously, to apply for Federal Work-Study, you had to check a box on the FAFSA indicating your interest in open positions. However, with the new 24-25 FAFSA, you must contact your college's financial aid office to inquire if any positions are available.
Federal Work-Study is open to part-time and full-time students and is administered by participating schools. Contact your college's financial aid office to determine if your school offers Federal Work-Study. You can learn more by following this link: https://studentaid.gov/understand-aid/types/work-study.
