Meet with your Guidance Counselor and discuss future majors and colleges you may be interested in. Ask for the plan of course work that is required to get into the colleges you are considering attending.

MyCollege Money

Now is the time to discuss with your family the cost of the college you’re planning to attend and to evaluate the resources available and those still needed. The College Cost and Tuition Calculator from the College Board can be a useful tool.

The more you know now the more likely you’ll be prepared when it’s time to apply. Here are just a few of the free online search tools available:
