Continuing Academic Education
Consider looking into four-year colleges/universities and 2-year community colleges. They can open up more opportunities for your future. They can help you learn new skills, meet different people, and prepare for a career that you enjoy. While college isn’t the right path for everyone, earning a degree or certification can lead to better job options and more stability. It can also help you grow as a person, become more independent, and gain valuable experiences. Whether you choose college, trade school, or another path, the most important thing is finding what works best for you and your goals.

4 Year College (Public)
A public university is a college that is funded by the state government, which helps keep tuition costs lower for in-state students. These schools offer a wide range of degree programs, clubs, and activities, making them a great option for many students. Because they receive state funding, they are often larger and have more resources like libraries, research opportunities, and sports teams. Public universities are open to everyone who meets the admission requirements, and they can be a more affordable way to earn a college degree compared to private universities.

4 Year College (Private)
4 Year College (Private)
A private university or college is a school that is not funded by the state or federal government. Instead, it gets money from tuition, donations, and other private sources. Because of this, private colleges usually have higher tuition than public universities, but they often offer generous scholarships and financial aid to help students pay for school. These schools can be large or small, and many have a strong focus on specific programs, smaller class sizes, and close-knit campus communities. Private colleges can also have religious or special academic focuses, but they welcome students from all backgrounds. I would recommend a private school to students who may not meet the eligibility requirements to receive financial aid through the FAFSA.

Community College
Community College
A community college is a school that offers two-year programs where students can earn an associate degree or a certificate in a specific skill. These colleges are usually much more affordable than four-year universities and are a great option for students who want to start their education close to home. Many students use community college to complete their first two years of college before transferring to a four-year school, while others go to learn job skills and start working right away. Community colleges often have flexible schedules, smaller class sizes, and programs designed to help students succeed in their careers.

- Match is about whether you meet the academic requirements for a college, like GPA, test scores, and coursework. Some schools are considered a "reach" (hard to get into), a "match" (you have a good chance of getting in), or a "safety"(you are very likely to be accepted).
