College/ Career Update

WOU will be at SHS during Eagle Time on Friday, April 22 in room 501.

From The College Place:

This Thursday at 6:00 pm, we'll walk your class of 2023 through the steps necessary to access education after high school. Our approach includes career & technical education programs, certificates, associate degrees and bachelor degrees. We'll discuss what students can do NOW to maximize their opportunities, whether they aspire to a trade or law school. This evening is designed to help students and families prepare for the many processes and demands of the senior year. Younger students and families are also welcome to attend.

Registration is available at https://ecmc.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_HCj7GvoSSHGIHTaNlFBC5Q

Here are two tools that can help seniors understand and compare their financial aid offers from competing institutions:

NEW! The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has a new tool that analyzes the financial aid offer, including a detailed examination of student loan debt using estimated salary levels for specific majors at specific institutions. (For example, a nursing student on the west coast has estimated first year earnings of $68,400.) There's a LOT of information, but it is definitely a helpful resource.

The Financial Aid Offer Comparison Google Sheet from Oregon Goes to College is easy to use and has all of the required formulas already coded in.
