Webinar: COVID-19 & College Admissions: Planning for the Year Ahead

Hi Families,

COVID-19 has disrupted nearly every aspect of the college admissions process, from standardized testing to extracurricular activities and academics. How can students best prepare for success during these uncertain times? Join us as our panel of former college admissions officers explore answers to questions like:

• How can families conduct a productive college search virtually?
• What should students do about impacted extracurricular activities?
• How will college admissions officers evaluate future applicants?
• Will universities remain test-optional - and how much will standardized testing matter?  

We will also provide the latest updates on how the coronavirus has impacted the college admissions process as well as answer questions from attendees.

Our free Scholarship Search connects students to scholarship opportunities based on their hobbies and interests. The database now has over 6 million scholarships worth up to $30 billion in free money for college. Plus, when students register, they can enter for a chance to win our monthly sweepstakes. To celebrate National Scholarship Month, we’ve upped the $1,000 prize to $10,000 during the month of November.1 In addition, The Sallie Mae Fund, in partnership with The Thurgood Marshall College Fund, will provide a total of $3 million in scholarships over the next three years to help minority students and other historically underserved communities access higher education and complete their postsecondary education programs. Stay tuned to learn more about the program and how students can apply in early 2021.
