College Coaching Sessions

Navigating the college application, scholarship, and financial aid processes can be challenging for many students and parents, especially those who are new to this experience.  In recognition of these challenges, Washington County Public Schools offers college coaching sessions for families in the evening as well as during the school day.

High school counselors are available for one-on-one sessions with students and their parents to develop action plans covering topics such as college searches, college visits, applications and deadlines, transcript requests, letters of recommendation, application essays, scholarship searches, financial aid, and the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). All families will leave the session with an action plan.  

One-hour college coaching appointments will be available on identified evenings for those families who find it difficult to meet during the school day.  Counselors will schedule appointments for seniors in the fall and for juniors in the spring.  Interested families should contact their high school counseling center at the telephone numbers below:
