Full-time HEAs are each dedicated to one campus for the entire school year and are in their classroom throughout the school day to assist all students with activities related to their future education. In high schools, this includes:

• Researching college options

• Working on applications

• Writing admissions essays

• Completing FAFSA/TASFA applications

• Completing scholarship applications

• Exploring workforce training and certification programs

• Supporting SAT/ACT/TSIA/ASVAB preparation

Each HEA also manages their school’s EIF Scholars program, which you can learn more about here.

In addition to the daily interaction with and guidance to students, HEAs facilitate all student and parent activities throughout the year, such as college application and SAT/ACT preparatory workshops. HEAs also facilitate EIF’s annual financial aid workshops for EIF parents and students to complete federal and state financial aid applications.

HEAs commemorate their students hard work and success at the end of each school year by supporting National Decision Day, where seniors get to share their college plans with classmates and family and celebrate their decision to continue their education.
