Young Muslims Present College Prep Workshop
Are college apps stressing you out? What’s the difference between SAT and ACT? Junior College or a 4 year? How do I get financial aid?
Young Muslims (YM) will be hosting a workshop on Friday, November 13th to answer these questions. College experienced panelists break down the dos and don’ts of the college application process. You don’t have to worry about this only during your senior year of high school. It’s never too early to start. As the November 30th college application deadline is approaching, we want to make sure our youth are prepared and ready to get through this process.
Invite your friends and family to this FREE event. This is open for youth and parents. If you have questions/topics that you would like our panelists to discuss specifically, please email us atquestions@ymsite.com and we’ll make sure to address them!
