Resources & Research Tools
Standardized Testing It is very important to choose a school with your test scores in mind. Here is where you can register for the standardized tests of your choice, and get some free testing information and practice tests. • ACT test • SAT test • Educational Testing Service • Free Testing Information and Practice Tests • SparkNotes The College Search This is a very difficult part of the college admissions process. To find that gem hidden among 3,000 or more schools is a very daunting task. Using these links you will be able to find national rankings of schools, admission requirements and virtual tours. You will be able to search for schools using your prospective major and look at college newspapers from around the nation. • The College Board • The Princeton Review • College View • Colleges That Change Lives (Based on the book by Lauren Pope) • The Black Collegian • The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities • Campus Tours Online • Collegiate Choice Walking Tours • U.S. News and World Report • College Newspapers from around the Nation The College Application Once you have made your list of candidate schools it will be time to do the actual application. This step is just as important if not more so than the college search. With the following links you will be able to access many of the well known application services. • The Common Application • The Princeton Review • Thompson Peterson's • College Link Student Athletes I have compiled a list of links to help those of you that are not only students but student athletes. You will find information on the NCAA Clearinghouse, scouting, and athletic scholarships. • The NCAA • The National Scouting Report • The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics • Collegiate Athletic Scholarships Financial Aid and Scholarship Assistance Funding the college education is second only to buying a home on the list of large investments made in a lifetime. We all hear of the millions of dollars that go unclaimed in scholarship money each year. I hope the following links will help you get your well deserved share of the money. • The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) • The Federal Student Aid Homepage • The CSS/Financial Aid Profile • FinAid • Sallie Mae • The National Association of Financial Aid Administrators • The Scholarship Experts • Fastweb • College Net • Daniel Bisig, College Funding Specialist Volunteer Opportunities Many colleges will look at students' extracurricular activities to see how well they used their time in high school. Volunteering is a good way to develop leadership skills while giving back to the community. • Idealist.org • Cares.org • Backdoorjobs.com • Volunteermatch.org
