College Boot Camp

Getting into America's top colleges - and paying for it - is the toughest challenge facing high school students. Yet, few parents and students know where to start. Did you know that you don't have to be an academic superstar or varsity athlete to attend America's top schools and win free college money? This course will teach you what college admissions offices look for in an application and how to select the right college. The class also shows you where to find unadvertised scholarship opportunities, how to complete scholarship forms and gather materials, and what works and what doesn't work in competing for scholarship money. All high school students and their parents (not just Seniors) are strongly encouraged to attend! Cost includes handouts. This popular course is taught by Jason Lum, who serves as CNBC's contributing consultant regarding college admissions and financial aid. A recipient of $250,000 in scholarship winnings, and a graduate of Harvard and Berkeley, Jason has served as a college admissions and scholarships consultant to families, schools, and public/private organizations since 2000.
