We will explore how to successfully complete the College Application, Admission and Financial Aid process. We believe in the importance of empowering youth and this workshop will give students tools needed to navigate the process.
The virtual program will be facilitated by expert staff from Penn Admissions and Penn Financial Aid offices, as well as facilitators from College Thoughts, and the Philadelphia College Prep Roundtable. Again, we encourage the High School community and their parents to tune into the program!
As a part of our MLK Symposium on Social Change, the workshop is being held:
Monday, January 20, 2025 (via Zoom), 1:00pm – 2:30pm.

Let’s Get Ready is offering FREE college going support to high school juniors! Applications are open NOW and are accepted on a rolling basis with the application closing on January 8, 2025.
As a member of Let’s Get Ready, your child will have a trained college student mentor whom they can reach out to for advice on building a college list, completing college applications, and navigating financial aid/scholarships at any time. This mentorship is entirely text based, which means it’s convenient, flexible, and there for them whenever they need it! All college student mentors have had to pass a national background check to confirm their eligibility to become mentors. Students who work with us find that they are more organized as they prepare to apply to college and are supported when they are feeling stressed about preparing for their senior year.
In addition, students who are interested can also sign-up for our virtual SAT Prep program that will build a knowledge base to help students increase their scores. This program will be from January 27- March 28, meeting twice weekly Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday from 5-7 PM EST. Students are not required to participate in the SAT Prep course to join Let’s Get Ready. Again, this course is free to students as well.
Our coaches are fun, knowledgeable, and relatable. They recently have been high school students themselves and understand how scary the application process can be. They are also great people to bounce ideas for college essays off of and to talk through what the college experience is like in real time.
