Bridges to
College Sponsors an ACT and Financial Aid Night
Bridges to College is an organization that works with students from the
Greenville, Ansonia and Franklin Monroe school systems to help navigate
the college process. We work with both students and their
families, because getting to college takes a commitment from both
sides. The most often asked question that we get from parents is
“How can we find scholarships?” This presentation will help to
answer that question because the biggest hurdle to cross when it comes
to college, is often, how to pay for it.
Many of you may be wondering how a student’s ACT score fits in with
financial aid. The ACT composite score is one of the most important
factors in a student obtaining scholarships and merit aid from
colleges. This translates into what most would call “free money.”
The best part is that these awards are given each year the student
attends the college, as long as the student maintains the requirements
set out within each scholarship.
Research has proven that a student’s ACT score can be improved with
preparation. Julie Goldschmidt and Shelly Poeppelman, teachers
from Fort Loramie High School, have recognized how important it is to
provide students with an opportunity to learn how to improve their ACT
score. Bridges to College is excited to have them share their program
that they have built over the past few years in an ACT Prep Class
format.
On Tuesday, January 19th at 7p.m., Chris Seger, a Bridges to College
Board member, will present helpful information on Financial Aid and the
FAFSA. The presentation will be held at the Greenville Senior High
School Cafeteria. At the conclusion of the presentation, we will
have a time for questions and also provide additional resources for
getting help.
Julie Goldschmidt teaches Algebra 2, PreCalculus, and AP Calculus at
Fort Loramie High School. Shelley Poeppelman teaches the Senior
English courses, including AP English, at Fort Loramie High School.
They have been conducting the ACT prep workshops for students in the
tri-county area for the past three years, with very positive results!
