College Readiness Guide

COLLEGE GUIDE COVER (image)

For high school students and their families, applying to college is a very important step in life. It can also be challenging:

  • What are colleges looking for in candidates?
  • How do you find the right college fit?
  • What’s the best way to plan a college search?
  • When are test scores and applications due?
  • What about financial aid and scholarships?

To help answer these and other questions, United Way of New York City and National Grid Foundation are pleased to offer this free College Readiness Guide. The step-by-step guide provides all the basics New York City high school students and their families need to know when it comes to preparing for and applying to college.

You don’t have to be an “A” student to get into college, but you do have to know the steps.
