Hello Northern Kentucky! College deadlines are approaching, and to help I have partnered with Boone County Schools, Erlanger-Elsmere Schools, Grant County Schools and Kenton County Schools to host a FREE College Essay Workshop.
October 21st and 28th (6-8PM each night).
A special thank you to the Youth Services Centers of each high school in these districts for making this FREE to all their seniors (and juniors if you want a head start or are applying to GSP).

"This class should be mandatory."
"Loved attending this. You have no idea how much more confident I am about college."
"It was the best week of my summer."
For the last comment, I'm a little sad about your summer, but I'm happy that the College Application Camp has been helpful to hundreds of students over the past 10 years.
I am pleased to offer this year's camp virtually from August 2nd-5th (9AM-12PM).
In short, students complete the Common Application, draft the personal statement, review their essay draft, begin their academic resume, all while gaining confidence in the year-long process of applying to colleges.

Last week, 33 students from 10 high schools worked on applications to over 100 colleges in the College Application Camp.
I read some great essays as the students poured their hearts into their personal statement and applications.
Now, 33 students from 10 high schools are in GREAT shape heading into an uncertain senior year. This was supposed to be the only week of camp.
Due to the success last week and due to high demand, I have added another virtual camp!
