On Wednesday, May 20, at 6:30 P.M., join LEAF for "Making Sense of the College Award Letter." This VIRTUAL Resource Center Session is designed for HS seniors still struggling with college decisions due to Covid-19, and juniors who are planning ahead. Generally, award letters contain the same overall information, but there is no standard format so they can be difficult to understand. During this session, attendees will learn how to read the award letters they receive after college acceptance, and understand the information that is included on them so that they can more easily compare schools and determine which college may be the best fit.

Please Register at https://leaf-ohio.org/resource-center-sessions/ or call 440.525.7095 to reserve your virtual seat. LEAF is a non-profit college access agency, delivering career and college access advisory programs that connect individuals to their best-fit careers.
