College Board Scavenger Hunt
Beverley Holsted, Gear Up Advisor, West Union Jr/Sr High School / Gear Up Program

Discover an innovative way to promote higher education in a low-income community, as well as increase student interest, develop an understanding of available educational resources and recognize the importance of the GPA. Facilitators will help students evaluate and identify a school or service of higher education that will assist in fulfilling the individual’s needs. This teaching tool is both interactive and engaging. Participants will take part in a College Scavenger Hunt. Attendees can network together as a team of two or set out to complete the worksheet on their own. Members will compare educational resources by tuition, location and majors that are available.
