“My advice to other kids? Keep your grades up. You’ll have a better chance of getting into the college you want and finding scholarships.”--Anthony |
Want an 80 percent chance of enrolling in college, regardless of your family’s income or ethnicity?*
Take these four steps, says a research analyst for the U.S. Department of Education:
- Graduate from high school.
- Be ranked in the top 75 percent of the class—and almost everybody who gets their work done is in the top 75 percent.
- Take a college entrance test, such as the ACT or SAT.
- Fill out and mail two forms:
--The FAFSA
--A college application
