Applying to Colleges

Steppingstone Advisors continue to support Scholars throughout middle school and high school as they pursue their long-term goal of attending a four-year college. Steppingstone's college counseling services are designed to complement the college guidance programs provided by their high schools. Steppingstone Advisors provide support to help families successfully navigate the college admission and financial aid processes. This support includes tutoring, mentoring, workshops, recommendation writing, college visits, summer opportunities, access to reduced-rate SAT preparation courses, and one-on-one guidance.

Steppingstone hosts an annual Support Services day, which allows Scholars and their families to attend workshops on topics such as:

The College Admission Process:

• An Overview
• Financial Aid and Scholarships
• Writing the College Essay
• Mock Interviews
• Introduction to the Steppingstone Alumni Network

Summer opportunities are also an important component of our support for Scholars. Juniors are seniors can apply to be Teaching Assistants during the summer program.
