Additional Road Trip opportunity IF you can't attend the spring junior trip due to a school conflict

This is an additional Road Trip Opportunity IF you can't attend the spring junior trip due to a school conflict.

If you are taking AP, and/or Dual Credit courses or pre-calculus then you are eligible for our Junior College Road trip in the spring. We have historically gone (2 nights/3 days) somewhere within the last week of March to mid-April.  We will visit MSU, WKU, UK and U of L.

However, we realize there could be conflicts for some of you with your extracurricular activities in the spring that would prevent you from being able to go. Therefore, we would like to open some spots for juniors to join the seniors this fall.  The senior trip will visit 3 college campuses:  WKU, UK and U of L.  We have only a limited number of spots for juniors and they will be reserved for juniors that will have a spring conflict. Dates will be November 6th and 7th.  Please see Mrs. Boone or Mrs. Burnham for an interest form which will be due on Thursday, September 25th.

The purpose of the workshop provides students and parents with the timeline, resources and information they need to successfully research and choose the college, university or technical school that's the best fit. Students will learn about the admissions process, searching for college scholarships, and making the most out of the college visit.  Our KHEAA outreach counselor will have a general overview of the different types of financial aid as well as an introduction to the FAFSA.
