The College Counseling Office presents an overview of what to expect as students approach the formal start of the college process.

Topics covered during What's Next: An Overview of What Lies Ahead include college admissions basics, standardized testing, extracurricular involvement, and details about the Junior College Trip in the fall.

The College Counseling Office understands how essential it is for families to begin learning about financial aid policies early in the college process. To provide this support, BWL partners with College Money Method, offering families the tools and guidance they need to navigate financial aid with confidence.

As the rules around financial aid eligibility continue to shift significantly, our goal is to provide you with the most current and helpful information to plan for your child's future.

Hosted by the College Counseling Office, this event for families of students in 9th–11th grades explores the important role extracurricular involvement plays in a student’s high school journey and the college admissions process. Families will gain insight into how activities beyond the classroom help students explore interests, build skills, demonstrate commitment, and grow over time. The program will also highlight how thoughtful, meaningful engagement in extracurriculars supports college readiness and strengthens college applications, offering guidance on how students can make the most of their high school experience.

In addition to live Financial Aid workshops, families have access to the BWL Resource Center, where recordings of each workshop are available the day after the event.

The Resource Center also includes invaluable tools—calculators, worksheets, guides, and additional resources—to supplement the workshops and help families plan financially for their child's college education.
