Intro to College Night:
This informative workshop will answer all of your questions about the college search and admissions process. Natalie Brennan, Leland & Gray’s Outreach Counselor from the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC), will explain the admissions process, financial aid, visiting colleges, and the SAT/ACT. She has materials that will assist you in tracking “what to do when.” The school counselors will review L&G’s transcript, recommendations, deadlines and our web-based college and career planning tool, Naviance.
We look forward to seeing you and working closely with you and your college-bound student. If you have questions, please feel free to call Sarah Grasso at 365-7355 ext.125.
