Educators and Families - Though we value your efforts of wanting to complete the registration process for a scholar, we emphasize the vital need for adults to instill this crucial set of skills in your student(s): the art of navigating online college and career applications. Unfortunately, this essential skill is not consistently incorporated into middle school or high school curricula. However, its impact is undeniable for those fortunate enough to receive such instruction. Whether guiding teenagers, first-time applicants, or newly arrived immigrants, it is imperative for teachers and parents to actively lead their students through the intricacies of online application processes, equipping them with the indispensable tools for success in the pivotal realms of higher education or career pursuits.
