College Bound Essentials

Elizabeth Hartley, presenter 

Just as the name implies, this workshop is an essential session for any college-bound student (and parents) who wants to get their best admission opportunities and secure the highest scholarship offers possible.  

Who is Elizabeth Hartley?  Elizabeth Hartley (consultant, author, scholarship judge, columnist and owner of Scholarship Gold Consulting near Charlotte, NC) works internationally with public schools, private schools, homeschool associations and private clients in all elements of preparing for college.  Scholarships paid for Ms. Hartley's own undergraduate and law school education as well as adventures tracking humpback whales in Hawaii and a year in Europe.  Now, as a judge and administrator for multiple scholarships, she gladly shares the secrets to securing the best admission opportunities and most competitive scholarships.  For more information, visit www.ScholarshipGold.com.  

Three of her own children now attend Yale, Dartmouth and Michigan State and she has a high school junior and freshman about to go through the process. So, she personally knows the parent's side of the process as well!  

Where?
 This session will take place at McBee Strategic Consulting, 455 Massachusetts Ave NW, 12th floor, in Washington, DC on Saturday, June 21st from 9:30 a.m.-12:30 pm..  It is a secure building so all attendees will need to be registered in advance.  Parents will need to present a photo id in order to get into the building on the morning of the event.

Who should come? 
 Rising 9th-12th graders will absolutely benefit from this workshop; although motivated 8th graders have also benefitted in previous sessions.  This information is most helpful when students and parents can learn it sooner than later so that they have more time to act on it before the senior year.

What will we learn?  This class will give students and parents valuable, game-changing information on how to make the decisions throughout high school that will result in maximum admission offers and scholarship money.  Specifically, the class will:

• Teach students how to get full ride offers to over 200 schools with just one test
• How to build a transcript that will result in the best admission offers
• How to go to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Brown, MIT and more for FREE (really)
• Teach them how to find their best college fits
• Cover basic interview skills
• Teach students how to tour and evaluate a college as it relates to the student’s interests
• Identify the best and least expensive ways to increase SAT and ACT scores
• Encourage them to take “ownership” of this next stage in their lives, to be proactive, organized and serious about this decision and help them strategize a game plan to get their best results!

Students attending this session will receive a comprehensive, hardcover 
College Bound Essentials Workbook to guide them through all aspects of college preparation.

Cost- The price of $99 applies to each student attending but up to two parents are welcome to attend at no extra charge.  When registering, only enroll the student, not the parent.  Extra students can be registered at the same time for the same price by listing them as Guests.  (Due to limited capacity of this venue, please do not bring along extra siblings or grandparents to sit in.)
