This valuable tool is great for all students, especially juniors as a guide to prepare for their senior year. This handbook covers applying to 4-year colleges, Military Academies, Technical Schools, and Community Colleges, what to look for in a campus visit, writing your essays, getting financial aid and much more!   Freshmen and sophomores, you will find our handbook helpful as well with goal setting and planning over the next couple of years.
