How to Help Your High School Senior Apply to College
Hi! My name is Trish :) I enjoy helping people when and where I can. It stems from being an educator and corporate trainer for over twenty-five years. Now, I'd like to help you (and your child) through the challenging, and often frustrating, experience of applying to college. Here's my background...
While teaching at a high school on Long Island, I wrote curriculum for a course that leads high school students through the college application process during the fall of their senior year. You can learn more about my experience and credentials at www.TrishPortnoy.com
The course was a huge success…with grateful appreciation from students, parents and Guidance Counselors. I went on to write the textbook for the course, College Apps: Selecting, Applying and Paying for the Right College for You. It’s also available for purchase on Amazon.com or for loan at your local public library.
Now, after supporting my own daughter through her senior year of high school and transition to college, I’ve updated and streamlined my system to assist other parents and their children in navigating the process. It's overwhelming and stressful, but when working as a team - YOU GOT THIS!
Life is complicated. Follow these steps to help (you and) your child reduce stress, the potential for faulty decision-making and unnecessary student loan debt during this time
