This September, the annual College 101 virtual sessions return for students and families to learn more about the college-going process. Each session will cover a key topic including: college and career pathways, the application process, and how to pay for a postsecondary education.
Now in its fifth consecutive year, this collaborative effort with FloridaShines, Florida School Counselor Association, Florida Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, Florida College Access Network, and additional statewide organizations, reflects the ongoing commitment of these organizations to work together in support of students. By combining their expertise and networks, these partners continue to strengthen statewide efforts to increase postsecondary access and success.
During the sessions, students will have the opportunity to ask questions through a live virtual chat with experts ready to answer. All sessions will be recorded and made available for viewing at a later time.
