JUST ASK!

by Kerry Turner

I would like to receive materials about career colleges to hand out to my students and colleagues. Can you help me with that?

Yes! The Foundation has many publications widely available for students, parents, counselors and career colleges. And guess what? They're free!

The 2007 Imagine America Student's Guide offers helpful tips to students on how to enroll and succeed in college. The Guide features articles on how to apply for and succeed in college, biggest mistakes made by high school graduates, all about federal financial aid programs, getting the most of your study time, college externships, and what every college graduate should know, among many others. Additionally, inside the Student's Guide, students will find a prepaid postage card titled Celebrate your Imagine America scholarship! This card, once filled out by the student and signed by their college admissions officer, will be used to send out press releases to local media outlets and congressional representative(s) – identifying the student's receipt of the Imagine America scholarship, the high school they're graduating from and the career college they will be attending.
