College Bound Resources
By TMoM Team Member Sarah Marchwiany
Embarking on the journey to college is a thrilling yet challenging phase for high schoolers. In the Triad region, we’re fortunate to have an array of invaluable resources tailored to guide students through this pivotal transition.ACT/SAT prep is a crucial step in the college application process. Partnering with knowledgeable instructors ensures that your child is well-prepared with the skills needed to conquer their exams. Within the Triad, dedicated academic counselors play a pivotal role in shaping students’ academic paths. These professionals offer personalized guidance, aiding in course selection, extracurricular involvement, and overall academic success. Navigating the financial aspects of college can be daunting, but the Triad offers numerous financial planners to help support you. With tailored resources like ACT/SAT prep, academic counseling, and financial planning, our high schoolers are well-equipped to embrace the exciting challenges ahead.
We can update this list at any time, so if there is a college bound resource we did not include, or anything below has changed, please email Sarah to let us know.
*Most high school websites will list local scholarships (things like community foundations, local churches and institutions, and school sponsored scholarships) and these are often the most accessible.
*Also consider looking to your employer for scholarships for children of employees or tuition reimbursement programs.
