Paying for College Project

Created by

Cassie Caringella

This project helps teach and reinforce an understanding of methods of paying for college. It focuses on federal aid (as determined using the FAFSA calculator), scholarships available at specific colleges, and private scholarships available through other resources. I made this for my 6th-8th graders but I think it could be beneficial for older students who are unfamiliar with the methods of paying for college.

Jobs and Career Counseling Sorting Out Options

Created by

Everyday Learning

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” It’s the perennial question adults ask kids. When they’re younger, you often hear fire fighter, movie star, and football player as answers. But, as kids get older, they begin to consider the question more seriously. Still, it’s not unusual for 8th and 9th grade students to have no idea about a future career. Unfortunately, career counseling does not get high priority in secondary schools. We push kids to do their best, take challenging classes, and app
