We will also discuss scholarship strategies that you can utilize immediately to help find more applicable scholarships for paying for college.

Life Planning: In this interactive workshop, we will be discussing the art and importance of life planning. This is a free workshop, open to the public and is a service offered by College Life Planning. "Within 10 years, 70% of college grads will not be working in a field related to their major." What if there was a way to reduce that percentage in your student? What if you could help your son or daughter avoid much of the disillusionment that is so prevalent in our society? What if we could show you how to help plan for life, rather than dealing with the mistakes of life? This workshop will address these questions, and help you prepare your teens for college, and perhaps more importantly, for life after college. We will hear from renowned life coach Mike Adams (creator of MAPS, and author of Parenting Your Child's Design) who will help address some of these key issues in parenting, and life coaching.
