FYI college readiness
Program Overview
Our Mission
FYI College Readiness Program is an optional online college and career readiness curriculum designed to assist students 9th through 12th grade with successfully navigating their road to college.
Our Goal
Through The "On-Track" Program is to make college planning as stress-free as possible for you! Through a series of weekly video modules, you will be shown all the essential steps to find, enroll, and receive financial aid support for college. By staying OnTrack, you will have all the information necessary to prepare for college, while having a fulfilling high school experience.
Discover Your Post-Secondary Options
Once you’re doing great in high school, you can start to look ahead at your post-secondary possibilities. These include four-year colleges, two-year colleges, technical and trade schools. We’ll not only explain what these are and how you can apply to them, but we’ll also help you figure out which of these options is the best fit to help you find a great, satisfying career.
Succeed in High School
Before you get to the post-secondary school that best fits you, you’re going to need to do well in high school. Our high school success modules will help you with important tasks like note-taking and test-taking, and they’ll also cover soft skills like how to deal with bullies or manage your time to get everything done that you need to.
Finance Your Future
Once you know what type of school you’ll be attending, you’ll need to know how to pay for it. We don’t want you finishing your post-secondary degree and having hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. We’ll take you through scholarships, grants, the FAFSA, and state financial aid programs to let you know the variety of ways you can get money that you won’t have to pay back after finishing your degree.
