The College Navigators will engage students in identified high schools; promoting educational and career opportunities and guiding them through the admissions process. The College Navigators will build relationships with high school counselors, attend college fairs, maintain follow-up contact with prospective students and their families, arrange campus visits and tours, offer student and parent/guardian workshops, and provide guidance related to financial aid and scholarships.
