Free College Planning Workshop For Union Families

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

Do you -- or your members -- have questions and concerns about preparing for and getting into college?  As part of the launch to the new Union Plus College Prep Program, Union Plus is sponsoring a free workshop for union members, staff and their families in the Washington, DC area. Roadmap to College is set for Tuesday, October 5 from 5:39-7:30P at CWA headquarters in downtown DC. Designed for parents and students, the workshop covers a variety of admissions and testing topics, including the right timeline for high school students to take college entrance exams, the difference between the SAT and the ACT, whether a better test score means a better scholarship or better financial aid package, what's covered in a typical college test preparation course and common misconceptions about getting into college. The free workshop will also include information on The Princeton's Review's upcoming SAT/ACT courses in the DC metro area and how you can save on these courses with your Union Plus college prep discount program.
