VSAC to offer planning program

CASTLETON — High school sophomores, juniors, and parents who want to get a jump on college planning are invited to attend Vermont Student Assistance Corporation’s College Pathways program, from 9:30 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. March 23 at Castleton State College.

VSAC is offering the same program March 16 at Saint Michael’s College in Colchester and April 6 at Lyndon State College in Lyndonville. New this year, VSAC is offering a remote option for families who are unable to attend a College Pathways event in person. On March 23, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., three of the sessions at Castleton will be viewable via Vermont Interactive Technologies (VIT) at Brattleboro Union High School.

Depending on the location, College Pathways offers up to eight workshops on a variety of topics, including writing a college application essay, strategies for taking SATs and ACTs, creating a college list and explaining financial aid.

Space is limited. To register, visit vsac.org/CollegePathways.
