Exciting Addition to the High School Counselor Kit

As you've read in previous editions of the Online News, we’ve been hard at work developing new products and tools for our college access and outreach program, UCanGo2. We're happy to announce that we’ve made several updates and a fun addition to one of our most popular products – the High School Counselor Toolkit.

We know that high school counselors and teachers play a vital role in encouraging and assisting students as they transition from high school to your campus. As you know, our UCanGo2 High School Counselor Toolkit is a comprehensive resource for planning, preparing and paying for college with particular emphasis on working with first-generation college-going families.

In addition to the updated instructor’s guide, student workbook, PowerPoint presentation and supplemental CD stocked with worksheets and tools, the toolkit now features the UCanGo2 College Board Game. By rolling the die and answering questions about financial aid, completing the FAFSA and preparing for college, students make their way from high school to college.

Would these materials be helpful to you in your work with high school counselors? If so, contact us today for a copy of the toolkit CD and a set of promotional cards you can give to your local counselors. Also, don’t forget to request your revised copy of our UCanGo2 FAFSA 101 course packages for 2011-2012: ‘FAFSA Fundamentals’ and ‘Focus on the FAFSA!’

Remember to keep checking UCanGo2.org for new content and free resources you can download at your convenience, 24/7.
