Help My Students Apply to College!
Funded Apr 16, 2018Thank you very much for your donations to this project! As the college counselor, I meet with students weekly beginning in 11th grade to begin discussing all aspects of the college application process, including creating a college list, drafting a resume and researching financial aid options. As out students enter their Senior year, they are now faced with the challenge of submitting their college and scholarship applications.
Since most college applications are done online, my students struggle with accessing the technology necessary in order to complete them. Many of my students do not have the technology at home that allows them to submit their college applications. As a result, many of them still submit paper applications, which results in delayed processing times as well as items getting lost in the mail.
Through this project, my students have been able to submit their college applications electronically and on time. By using this technology, my students can now work on their personal statements, resumes and other components of the application in my office while having my assistance. As a result of using all of this technology, over 95% of the graduating seniors have submitted their college applications. Thank you for allowing them to have that opportunity!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Cuevas
