To get the most from their education journey, many students and their parents turn to the support of college counselors. What can a college counselor help with when it comes to optimizing the education experience for your family? Here are a few of the highlights:
- Financing college – Of course, your college counselor won’t be offering you a loan themselves, but they can help you know where to go for the best college loans, scholarships, and grants. Plus, they may be able to offer families advice on saving for college, especially if the family has multiple children who expect to attend school. The number one form of support will be providing assistance to submit the FAFSA.
- College admissions support – From tips on how to write an essay to suggestions on how to build a college portfolio that will get the attention of admissions officers, one of the primary roles of a college counselor is to help you get into the school of your choosing.
- College planning – Of course, you will have to know what school you want to go to first. And simplifying that choice often involves selecting a major, so you know which schools have the best programs. A counselor will be happy to assist you with this process.
