In preparation for the event, your student will be asked to complete college research to ensure they have a college in mind that will be a good match for them. In addition, students will be asked to gather the information that they will need to complete an application for college admission and may need your assistance. This information may include the following: • Social Security Number • Place of birth • Residency information, such as tax, employment, driver’s license information • Citizenship information • Immediate family military information • Previous high school information • Extra-curricular activities • Previous SAT/ACT Scores *Students may either submit their application(s) during the event or save it to submit at a later time. On the evening of our event, we will encourage students who do not have access to a payment method at school to save their application to submit at home, if possible. As another option, some students have elected to purchase a prepaid gift card, such as a Visa gift card, in an amount sufficient to cover their application fee and to bring that to school. Students who may qualify for an application fee waiver, such as the College Board or ACT fee waiver, should discuss this option with their counselor prior to the event to obtain the necessary paperwork.
