Arcadia University Launches Free College Prep Workshop Series

Searching for the right college can be challenging. To help high school students find their perfect college fit, Arcadia University’s Office of Enrollment Management is launching the free College Prep 101: Workshop Series, workshops that will walk students through all the stages of getting into and going to college—and could even net them a $500 scholarship

Each workshop will focus on a different college search topic, with eight workshops in total for high school students to learn about finding their perfect school.

"The College Prep Program is an essential tool that students can use as they persist toward high school graduation and pursue a college degree," said Arcadia University Vice President for Enrollment Management Rakin Hall. “These workshops focus on finding the right school, applying to college, financing your degree, and maintaining physical and mental wellbeing throughout the process.”

Unique to Arcadia’s program, students do not need to be enrolling at Arcadia to participate in the program. It’s open to all high school students for free.

This series is open to all high school students getting started on the college search. Students who complete the program and decide to enroll at Arcadia University will receive a $500 scholarship for their first year.

College Prep workshops will be held throughout the spring, starting Jan. 28 with a discussion about starting the search for a college and how to narrow down your choices before visiting a campus.
