Collegewise is a free series of college planning programs and resources, carefully structured to give students and parents the tips, tools, and timelines they need to reach their college goals.

Students and parents: We encourage seniors to sign up for the College Board Opportunity Scholarships program and start earning chances at scholarships. Students and parents can also take advantage of these resources this fall:

• View Collegeboard's recent webinar, Applying to College During a Pandemic, for seniors and their parents.

• Visit Collegeboard's Class of 2021 page for college planning resources in response to covid-19 to help your senior stay on track for college.

We encourage seniors to get ahead on the FAFSA® by visiting www.getfafsahelp.org to sign up early for Wyatt℠, a free FAFSA assistance chatbot that answers their questions by text.
