CURRENT SERIES
PURPOSE:
Why does this matter to you? Before choosing a path, get clear on what you are actually working toward. Everything after this is easier once you can name it.
VALUES & STRENGTHS:
What are you naturally good at, and what do you care about? Naming both gives you something to measure every option against.
FINANCIAL LITERACY & FAFSA:
What college actually costs, how aid works, and what your family can realistically afford. Covers FAFSA and TASFA and what the difference means for your family.
CAREER EXPLORATION:
Connecting strengths and values to career pathways that exist in this region and pay a living wage.
PATH SELECTION:
Choosing a school that fits your goals, your finances, and your situation. Not the one with the best commercial.
MILITARY AND CAREER PATHWAYS:
ROTC, enlisted service, and veteran education benefits as a real postsecondary route, with the tradeoffs laid out plainly.
WHO SHOULD COME
Students, parents, and anyone supporting a student. Grandparents, older siblings, aunts and uncles. You do not need to be the one going to school.
