College is a mystery to most
teens in middle and high
schools. Although many of them
have the notion they should
pursue higher education, they
often feel intimidated and
overwhelmed when making
decisions about their future.
This guide is a fun and
interesting way for students to
get their first real look at
college. It gives a great
overview of everything to expect
when exploring college; takes
the guesswork out of preparing
for life beyond high school; and
covers four-year colleges as
well as two-year and vocational
education options. The Kids’
College Almanac is also packed
with fun trivia facts, lists of
famous alumni, school nicknames,
and other information that
appeals to young people. In
addition, readers will learn how
to apply for financial aid and
fill out an admission
application.
New content for this edition
includes updated financial aid
information in relation to the
reauthorization of the Higher
Education Act, information on
revised SAT guidelines, and all
new charts and tables with
college facts and figures.
