Career/College Preparation

I would like to share two websites that are valuable resources as you begin to prepare your child or yourself for life beyond high school.  The first is the College Foundation of North Carolina (CFNC) at www.cfnc.org.    This website allows you to establish an account for your child and submit information that can be used to populate college applications for schools in NC.  In addition, this site is linked to Career Key program which assists with helping determine career options for your child.  Some NC colleges provide the opportunity to complete their applications at no charge on this site and high school transcripts are able to be linked as well.

If you are searching for scholarships, the Fast Web site at www.fastweb.com is a useful tool to research scholarships.  I would suggest that both parents and high school students complete the registration process together.

Finally, please share any steps you have or are in the process of taking to prepare your children for life beyond high school.


Until next time, have a blessed day.
