Parents and Grade 12 Students, join us as we attempt to demystify the sometimes confusing post-secondary application process and to help smooth any anxiety about timelines and procedures. This evening event is hosted by the Hamilton District Christian High Student Services staff

We’ll address the following topics:

• Where to look for post-secondary options?  Electronic research tools.
• How do we make the right choice? Working through the options.
• What’s the process? On-line applications to colleges and universities.
• What’s it going to cost? Funding post-secondary education.
• How can I prepare my kid for the next step? Successful transitions.

The bulk of the evening will be spent in smaller break-out sessions where you can have:

• an in-lab experience on the college application process,
• an in-lab experience on university application process, and
• an in-depth explanation of scholarships.

Bring your questions, and join us for a lively and informative discussion in the library! Refreshments will be provided.
