Participants will learn about the college admissions process, applying for financial aid and scholarships, creating a résumé, assessing their personality, and more.
Made possible with generous support from PricewaterhouseCoopers, “Say YES to College!” is free for participants, though registration is required. Teens and families can register in advance by emailing collegeprep@freelibrary.org or in person on April 9 from 9:00-9:30 a.m. at Parkway Central. Lunch will be provided to all participants. “Say YES to College!” is part of the Free Library’s College Prep Program.
