College Information Night At Wayne College In Orrville And The Wayne College Holmes Campus In Millersburg

Navigating the trip from high school to college can be tricky, and students are not the only ones who have questions. The University of Akron Wayne College is planning College Road Map: General College Information Night to help high school juniors or seniors and their parents through the process. The event will be held twice in September, first on Sept. 16 from 7-8 p.m. at the Orrville location and again on Sept. 24 from 6-7 p.m. at the College’s Holmes Campus in Millersburg.

College Road Map is offered at no charge and is open to students of all ages. Light refreshments will be served.

The information sessions will cover details about the college search process such as getting the most out of college fairs, selecting the right college, meeting deadlines, beginning the financial aid process and looking for scholarships and grants.

According to Admissions Counselor Sarah Morrow, the program’s goal is to help people feel comfortable with the college process. “The college experience may seem overwhelming at first for students as well as parents,” says Morrow. “It’s hard to know where to begin, the right questions to ask, and how to navigate through the paperwork. Our goal is to give the necessary tools for parents to help their students through the process of finding and applying for college, as well as the ability to ask the important questions.”
