Hey all, I'm a high school junior from a low-income family, and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by the college application process. Are there any resources or programs specifically designed to help students like me? Thanks for any suggestions!
Hey there, it's great that you're being proactive about the college application process! There are several resources available to assist low-income students like yourself. One such program is the College Board's fee waiver, which can help cover the cost of SAT/ACT exams and college application fees. Additionally, you may want to look into organizations like QuestBridge, which connects high-achieving, low-income students with top-tier colleges and universities through the National College Match program. Another helpful resource is TRIO programs, which include Upward Bound and Talent Search, both designed to support low-income students with academic and college prep assistance. Your school counselor can also be a valuable resource in guiding you through the application process and helping you find scholarships or grants that cater to your specific situation. Don't hesitate to reach out to them for help. Wishing you the best of luck!
