What scholarships are available to my senior?

There are so many!  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 yet 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, I can help them find 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...).

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.
