SUMMER PROGRAM PLACEMENT
SUMMER PROGRAM PLACEMENT
(P) Membership
A considerable factor for highly-selective institutions is what students do with the time they have, and summer is one of those times that’s expected to be used wisely. The HRS office is knowledgeable and kept up-to-date on what summer opportunities exist, what they each feature, and what their requirements are for acceptance. Some of these programs are offered locally (within a few hours), while others are offered nationally. The logistics of participating with any of these summer programs is a discussion our office has with students so that we can try to help find solutions to any possible barriers that may exist. Participation with at least one summer program as a member of HRS is highly encouraged.
FINANCIAL AID SUPPORT
FINANCIAL AID SUPPORT
(E)(D)(P) Memberships
The HRS office understands that getting accepted to a highly-selective post-secondary institution is one challenge in and of itself, but that once accepted, new challenges arise, and one of those is the cost. The RS office works with students and their families to navigate the options that exist for tuition reimbursement, forgiveness, and scholarships. We assist, as much or as little as needed, with completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) forms, and with directing students toward scholarships and other grant programs that are good fits for them. Requirements, fees, timelines, deadlines, etc. for these are tracked by the HRS office and are discussed with students routinely.
CUSTOMIZED PATHWAYS
CUSTOMIZED PATHWAYS
(E)(D)(P) Memberships
Students are required to create a Scoir account. We use Scoir to connect students to the institutions that are the best fit for their interests and their qualifications. This account keeps track of their schools of interest and provides relevant resources about these schools. Through this account we also explore careers that are matched to the student based on a character assessment.
CAREER & COLLEGE FAIR ACCESS
CAREER & COLLEGE FAIR ACCESS
(D)(P) Memberships
Experts from a variety of professions are invited to interact with students to provide insights into their respective career fields. These occur once a semester during the school day, and are offered exclusively for students earning RS services.
Colleges from around the region, in addition to several of the national highly-selective schools participate with our annual College Fair. This opportunity is a unique opportunity in the county in which RS students receive special perks.
PROGRESS MONITORING
PROGRESS MONITORING
(E)(D)(P) Memberships
The HRS office performs weekly checks of students receiving HRS services. These checks focus on academics, attendance, behavior, mental health, and community involvement. If concerns arise in any of these areas for a student, the ACIP schedules an individual meeting with the student to discuss and/or problem-solve the issue(s). Students receive a report of their progress during their scheduled seminar time.
TEST PREP & REVIEW
TEST PREP & REVIEW
(P) Membership
Many highly-selective institutions consider ACT and SAT scores to be optional criteria to include with a student’s application. However, if a student scores in an exceptional range on either or both of these nationally standardized assessments, then he/ she should include those scores. The HRS office spends time with students practicing for these assessments by examining and answering actual questions, discussing strategies, recreating the time constraints, and familiarizing ourselves with the different question prompts.
