Seniors:
You should be working on your FAFSA right now. Colleges use this to determine your family's finanacial contribution and your financial aid. It is easy enough to do once your parents complete their taxes. Go to http://fafsa.org/ and begin the process. The sooner, the better, colleges view this as a first-come-first-served situation.
Juniors:
Visit the college campuses you are considering applying to. There are 2 reasons: to let them know you are interested and to learn more aobut them to make an informed decision. Go to your college's websites and search for "campus vists". You will be able to arrange to get a guided tour and learn about things like dorms, dining halls, classes, requirements for your intended major, etc. Now is the time! you should not wait until next year, you will run out of time.
Sophomores and Freshmen:
Volunteer!! I can't say it enough. You need volunteer hours!! Check with worthy organizations that you might already know in your community. Start with your church, then maybe assisted living centers, day cares, community rec centers, the SPCA. Try to pick an organization that you have an interest in, it will help you learn more to make better, well-informed future choices.
