I am co-delivering a one-tie program for high School parents: The Myths and Realities of the Successful College Search

Are you overwhelmed with finding the right college for your student? Not sure where to even begin? Do you have a strategy for figuring out what your student wants to major in and how their interests match to specific colleges? Do you want your student to earn scholarships but don’t know where or how to begin the process of getting them noticed? This workshop will address the top five myths of the successful college search:

  1. My student will do most of the college search work him/herself and/or the HS guidance counselor will help my student find the right college.
  2. Any school will do as long as my student goes to college.You can take side-trips to visit colleges while on your summer vacation.
  3. Top academic students will automatically get scholarships.
  4. Only top athletes get athletic scholarships.
  5. Taught by two moms, Patti Hathaway and Karen Matis, who have done extensive research and who have been successful in helping their students through the college search process. They will share with you what has worked for their families and how you can do the same.
