What scholarships are available to my senior?
There are so many! the board outside of the President's office has posters
and advertisements for current scholarships (local, national, and college-
specific ones). St. Paul typically releases a booklet of local scholarships
that are available, look for this to be sent home with seniors around the
first of the year.
--------------------------------------
Can you suggest or find the program that my student wants to study?
I will have to be honest, I do not have the experience with college advising
to be able to speak to the best programs or make "best fit" suggestions for
students. This will come with more time in the job. I am able to talk with
students about colleges within states that they are looking for. For
example, if your student wants to pursue a physical therapy degree, we can
look at a book that will tell us what colleges/ universitites in the state
of Ohio (or Pennsylvnia, or New York, etc...) that would offer that
program. From there it is up to your student to do a little investigating
on their own by getting on the college/ university's website, request
information, and compare their choices. I am more than happy to share the
information that I might have in my office with them (viewbooks,
applications, etc...), but I beleive that your student needs to take
responsibility in this process and investigate for themselves.

How many college visit days does my student get excused from school?
Juniors get one day per school year, and seniors get two days excused to
visit college campuses. they need to stop in the office to get a form for
the visit to be approved ahead of time, and then on their return to school,
need to have confirmation from the admissions office that they visited that
they were there.
