  • Student Success Centers Program

    STUDENT SUCCESS CENTERS PROGRAM: TO ADDRESS THE GROWING NEED TO PROVIDE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WITH MORE INDIVIDUALIZED COLLEGE, CAREER, AND LIFE ADVISING, WE HAVE OPENED STUDENT SUCCESS CENTERS IN FOUR AREA HIGH SCHOOLS. THESE CENTERS ARE STAFFED WITH EDUCATION FOUNDATION COLLEGE CAREER ADVISORS WHO WORK ONE ON ONE WITH STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE COLLEGE APPLICATION PROCESS AND CAREER SEARCH. STUDENT SUCCESS CENTERS ARE HUBS OF RESOURCES AND ACTIVITY. STUDENTS CAN ACCESS NAVIANCE COLLEGE- AND CAREER-PLANNING SOFTWARE, LAPTOPS, AND INTERNET. THEY CAN ATTEND WORKSHOPS ON FINANCIAL AID, SCHOLARSHIPS, SAT / ACT PREPARATION, AND COLLEGE ESSAY AND RESUME WRITING. THEY CAN ATTEND JOB AND CAREER FAIRS. THEY CAN FIND A WELCOMING PLACE WHERE STUDENTS COLLABORATE WITH THEIR PEERS, A PLACE WHERE THEY ARE EMPOWERED TO FORMULATE A PLAN-AND REALIZE IT.
