College and Career Planning Guide
Making decisions regarding future education and employment is not an easy task. With thousands of careers, educational institutions, work-force opportunities, and military options to choose from, the decision process can become complex. This planning packet is designed to help students and their parents navigate through the various career and educational paths students may take. Numerous valuable resources are included in this packet such as military careers and contact information, career assessments, college contact information, employment contacts, and online resources. Students and parents are strongly encouraged to set aside time to explore these useful resources.
In order for students to make thoughtful decisions regarding their future, they need to invest time researching their options. Reading valuable print materials and researching online about various post-secondary institutions and careers is an excellent way to start the process of future career planning. However, students are strongly encouraged to not only read about and research various careers, employment opportunities, and institutions, but to also actually experience, in person, careers and institutions they are interested in pursuing.
Visiting campuses for tours, overnight visits, or classroom observations are great ways for students to experience post-secondary institutions. Students may also find job shadowing as an excellent tool in learning about a career. If a student is interested in pursuing employment immediately after high school, they should contact local county job agencies and search and print online want ads. Those students interested in military options should speak with military recruiters about the numerous career options and benefits available from the various military branches.
All students are encouraged to stop by the guidance office with any questions they might have regarding post-secondary education, employment opportunities, and military careers. I hope that you, the students and parents, find this packet useful in your post-secondary planning.
Sincerely,

Applying for College Admissions and Scholarships
1. Take your ACT early so you can repeat it if necessary. Be sure to include your high school code- 011-220 on your registration.
2. Investigate several colleges or universities in which you are interested. Review catalogs, visit campuses, attend college fairs, visit campus websites and visit with representatives who come to the high school.
3. Check out the websites of the colleges you are interested in or see the counselor for admission and scholarship information (early in senior year).
4. Determine if you are eligible for admissions/scholarships at these universities or colleges (early in senior year).
5. Prepare a resume of academic qualifications, honors/awards, leadership, and school and community involvement (Grades 9-12) and have this on file in your career portfolio (VERY IMPORTANT).
6. Complete admissions material to selected schools (September- November of Senior year for universities; Jan-Feb for junior colleges). Many colleges have early deadlines so it is suggested that you begin applying to the schools of your choice early in your senior year. Most colleges prefer that you apply online. You can also print a paper version from their website if you prefer.
7. When you apply online, you will either pay the application fee online with a credit/debit card or mail in a check/money order to the college.
8. Request a transcript from the guidance office to be mailed separately or be placed in with your admissions materials in a sealed and separate envelope. The transcript fee is $1.00 for current students.
9. Complete scholarship applications, preferably before December 1st for 4 year schools. Junior and community colleges usually have a deadline of March 1st.
10. Decide on your housing needs-dorm, apartment or home. Early application may also mean better housing, i.e., a place in the dorm. If you are attending a state college or university, sign up immediately for campus housing. Often you pay your deposit when you are accepted. These institutions are short of campus housing. Should you decide not to attend that college or university, your money will be refunded if you let the housing office know early enough.
11. Submit the FAFSA as required at fafsa.. January 1st (of the year you will start college) is the earliest possible filing date! Most colleges will not consider you for financial aid until you have applied and been accepted to their school. The previous year's tax information is required to complete the form. Check for the college’s deadline for completing the FAFSA. Some are as early as March 1st.
12. Apply to the institution for financial aid. Special forms may be required. Forms are available from the financial aid office at the college to which you apply. The institution may also request copies of all parent/student tax forms.
13. Apply for local scholarships and other financial aid.
14. Make an appointment with the institution's financial aid office, if necessary.
15. Attend orientation sessions, if offered.
Important Factors in Competing for Scholarships
• High School Transcript: Every final grade for each course in which you earn high school credit is posted on your high school transcript and used to calculate GPA and class rank. The college may determine grade point average differently from the way the school computes it. For example, many colleges drop all electives and average grades from math, science, social studies, English, and foreign language. Colleges expect you to take the most challenging high school courses offered in which you can make at least a “B”. The final transcript usually receives careful attention. Also many universities require that entering freshmen have Algebra II completed in high school.
• GPA is also important: At GHS, the standard un-weighted GPA shall be calculated using the following scale:
Regular Courses A=4.0 B=3.0 C=2.0 D=1.0 F=0.0
The standard weighted GPA is calculated by adding 1 point for every advanced or AP course to the total quality points before dividing by the number of courses taken. Thus, the following scale shall be used for weighted GPAs:
Adv. & AP Courses A=5.0 B=4.0 C=3.0 D=2.0 F=0.0
If you earned a 96, 92 (AP course), 86, 85, 76 (adv. course), & 56 respectively, what is your weighted and un-weighted GPA?
Sum of points: 16 divided by the total number of grades: 6 = un-wted GPA of 2.67. When you add 1 extra point to the total quality points for every Advanced or AP course and add it to the sum of points and then divide by the total number of grades, you will have your weighted GPA.
Sum of points: 16 plus the extra two points for Adv/AP courses
Sum of 18 divided by the total number of grades: 6 = Weighted GPA 3.0
• Class rank is officially calculated after first semester of the senior year. For each advanced course successfully completed an additional five points is added to the final course grade and for each AP course an additional 10 points is added to the final course grade before the final average is calculated. Rounding is done at the hundredths place. For example, an 89.677 rounds to 89.68. You must earn a flat 92.00 or higher to be recognized as an honor student.
Advanced Placement Courses Advanced Courses
AP Calculus (12) Advanced English (10-12)
AP English (12) Advanced Government/Econ (12)
Advanced US History A &B (10-11)
Algebra II w/ Trig (10-12)
Pre-calculus (11-12)
Advanced Anatomy (11-12)
Chemistry (10-12)
Advanced Biology (9)
Physics (10-12)
Spanish II (10-12)
• ACT and/or SAT scores-These should be on your cumulative record by December 1st of your senior year. Colleges look heavily at your grade point average and your ACT score to determine your eligibility for admissions and scholarships. Most junior colleges require a minimum of 16 on the ACT and most universities require at least a 20 just to be unconditionally admitted.
• Involvement in school. This may include drama, sports, publications, and the level of involvement in each (noted on your resume).
• Extracurricular activities, volunteer/community/church activities (noted on your resume).
• School report: usually an evaluation by the counselor
• Special Ability: art, music, athletics, leadership
• Neatness and Accuracy of your application. Type if at all possible. Write neatly and in ink otherwise.
• Interview: Some schools require a personal interview.
• Letters of Recommendations: Some scholarship applications require recommendations. You may want to ask a teacher, coach, minister, employer or someone from the community, other than a family member.
Requesting Letters of Recommendation
In requesting recommendations be sure to adhere to the following:
1. Ask for the recommendation at least two weeks in advance. Do not ask for recommendations during peak times, such as during report card week.
2. Select a person who knows you well and shows interest in you, i.e., teacher, coach, counselor, activity advisor, principal, minister, boss, etc.
3. Select a person who is familiar with your potential and achievements.
4. Include a resume of school, community, and church activities from grades 9-12 only.
5. Give the writer a stamped, properly addressed envelope and include your name and instructions concerning where and when to return the recommendation.
6. Check back with the writer to see that the letter has been written and sent, or gather the letter from the writer and mail it in yourself.
7. Remember it is the responsibility of each student to meet all deadlines!
8. Be sure to make copies for your personal file if the person writing the recommendation returns the letter to you. Sometimes the letter must be sent from the writer directly to the scholarship committee.

Financial Aid
Be sure to review, Getting In: Your Guide to Higher Education in Alabama. This will help you understand how the financial aid process works and the different types of aid available to you. This resource is available at . Click on students and parents, then publications, then scroll down to Alabama and click “Getting In”.
Listed below are the different types of financial aid that may be awarded:
• Grants: Grants are monies awarded to students that do not have to be repaid. Grants are usually awarded based on financial need.
• Work-Study: Work-study is a program that allows students to work on campus and receive funds toward their education costs. Basically a student is trading work for financial aid. Thus, work-study funds do not have to be repaid with money, but with work instead.
• Scholarships: Scholarships are funds that also do not require repayment. The guidance office provides information regarding scholarships on a national, state, and local level. Throughout the year, current scholarships are posted in the guidance office, listed in the weekly guidance announcements, and are available online at the Geneva High School website at: are also strongly encouraged to apply for scholarships from post-secondary institutions. Whether a technical college, or a 4-year university, numerous scholarship dollars are available for incoming freshmen. Usually once a student has been accepted to an institution, that institution will mail the student information about scholarships; however, if a student does not receive scholarship information from their institution of choice, they should contact that college’s financial aid office.
• Loans: Loans are borrowed from the federal government or financial institutions. Loans must be repaid. There are numerous types of loans such as a Perkins loan, Stafford loan, and Plus loan. There are loans aimed at students, and loans for parents. Loans should be thoroughly investigated by parents and students.
HOW TO COMPLETE THE FAFSA (opens October 1 for Seniors)
FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid. This form is used to determine the amount of money a family is expected to contribute to the price of attending a postsecondary institution. The results of the FAFSA are used in determining student grants (e.g. Pell Grant), work study, and loan amounts. If you are going to a 2 year college, you must complete the FAFSA by March 1st to qualify for scholarships.
First, you need to create an FSA ID at
1. Provide your e-mail address, a unique username & password, & verify that you are at least 13 years old.
2. Provide your Social Security number, name, and date of birth.
3. Include your mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, and language preference.
4. For security purposes, provide answers to five challenge questions.
5. Submit your FSA ID information.
6. Agree to the terms and conditions.
7. Verify your e-mail address using the secure code which will be sent to your email address. Once you verify your email, you can use it instead of your username to log into the websites.
Do parents need FSA IDs?
Yes, a dependent student will need to have one of his or her legal parents sign the student’s FAFSA, so the parent needs an FSA ID as well. A legal parent is your biological or adoptive parent, or your parent as determined by the state. If you have a stepparent, you generally also must provide information about him or her. It’s important to understand that the student and the parent may not share an FSA ID. Your FSA ID is your signature, so it has to be unique to you.
Can I create an FSA ID for my parent?
No. Only the owner of an FSA ID should create or use the account. Here's why:
• The FSA ID serves as a legal signature and should not be shared with anyone!
• An e-mail address cannot be used with more than one FSA ID. If you forget your username or password, you can request that a secure code be e-mailed to you to allow you to reset your username or password. For security reasons, you don’t want that code being sent to someone else.
• So, as you can see, you’ll need access to your (and only your) FSA ID and associated e-mail address.
Gathering the Documents Needed to Apply
The FAFSA asks for information about you (your name, date of birth, address, etc.) and about your financial situation. Depending on your circumstances, you might need the following information or documents as you fill out the FAFSA:
• Your Social Security number & your parents’ Social Security numbers (if you less than 24 years old or not married)
• Your driver’s license number if you have one
• Prior year federal tax information or prior year tax returns including IRS W-2 information, for you and parents
• Records of your untaxed income, such as child support received, interest income, and veterans non-education benefits, for you, and for your parents if you are a dependent student
• Information on cash; savings and checking account balances; investments, including stocks and bonds and real estate but not including the home in which you live; and business and farm assets for you and parents
• List of the school(s) you are interested in attending —The schools you list on your FAFSA will automatically receive your FAFSA results electronically. They will use your FAFSA information to determine the types and amounts of financial aid you may receive. You can list up to 10 schools on your FAFSA.
• Keep your records! You may need them again.

Writing College Essays
What makes a good college application essay?
As is the case with so many issues embraced by the college admissions process, there is no single answer to this question. There are many answers. We'll try to address some of the more substantive issues here.
Clarity and Style: Above all else, your essay must be written in a clear and concise manner. No matter how exhilarating your subject, if your essay is incoherent, it will not make a good impression. A few tips: Don't try to impress anyone by stretching your vocabulary. Stick with what you know and with what you find comfortable. Similarly, don't worry about blinding the reader with extravagant style. Try to keep your sentences short and simple. However, don't be afraid to include a bit of humor or other indicators of your creative side if you think it's appropriate for your subject. It's always a good idea to write at least two drafts of your essay and to have a parent, teacher, or friend proofread it.
Subject: Some schools designate what subject(s) your essay should cover. But most require at least one essay that has no specific subject guidelines. For the majority of students, the open-ended essay question is the most difficult. So, how do you choose a subject? Here are a few broad suggestions: an important event in your life (something that affected how you think or feel about a particular subject); an organization to which you belong; an accomplishment about which you are particularly proud; your hobbies or interests; a political or social issue that concerns you; future plans. As long as you write about a subject you know and feel strongly about (either positively or negatively), you are on fertile ground. It’s a good idea to discuss your subject with a friend, parent, or guidance counselor before you begin writing. They can often help you “hash out” the possibilities and assist in clarifying your sense of purpose. What you write about is generally not nearly as important as how you write about it.
Length: If the college to which you are applying has a specific word limit for the essay, try not to exceed it. If you cannot adequately address your topic within the word limit, you should try to pare it down or pick another subject entirely. Conversely, if you do not have enough to say about your subject to come relatively close to the word limit (say 75 percent of the maximum), you might want to reconsider. It is by no means necessary, however, to produce precisely the maximum or suggested number of words.
Repeat Use: Some colleges do not mind if you submit the same essay to other colleges. If different colleges place different word limits on the essays, you may be able to include or exclude certain points as the case demands. If you will need to vary the length of your essay, be careful to determine which points must be included and which are more extraneous. Discussing this with others can help.
Planning: Begin thinking about your essay well ahead of the deadline. Students who write their essays at the last minute do not produce their best work. If you begin to consider possible subjects a couple of months prior to your first deadline, you should be in solid shape. Good luck!
Differences among Community, Technical,Junior Colleges and Four Year Schools
Many colleges offer programs that are less than four years in length. Most of these schools offer education and training programs that are two years in length or shorter. The programs often lead to a license, a certificate, an associate of arts (A.A.) degree, an associate of science (A.S.) degree, or an associate of applied science (A.A.S.) degree.
Community Colleges: These are public, two-year colleges. They mostly serve people from nearby communities and offer academic courses, technical courses, and continuing education courses. Public institutions are supported by state and local revenues.
Technical Colleges: These are generally colleges that have a special emphasis on education and training in technical fields. While some technical colleges offer academic courses and programs, not all technical colleges offer two-year programs that lead to an associate of arts or science degree. Technical colleges may be private or public.
Junior Colleges: These are generally two-year colleges.
Four-Year Colleges and Universities: These schools usually offer a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree. Some also offer graduate and professional degrees.
What To Do on a College Visit
Visiting a college campus with a parent/guardian is one of the most important factors in the college selection process for students. A campus might look “nice” online, or your cousin might go there, but you won’t know if it is right for you unless you visit. If you are wondering what you should be doing on a visit besides the basic tour, look below at the college visit questionnaire.
Suggestions Before you Visit:
Make sure you call or e-mail ahead well in advance to set up your visit. You will mostly likely need to obtain a parking permit, set up a tour, and visit with an admissions counselor. Remember that you will likely be on campus from 2-3 hours, do don’t try to do too many visits in one day.
College Name:
Location: Is it close to home? Do I want to be able to drive home regularly? Will I be able to pay in-state tuition?
Size & Environment: How many students are enrolled? How big is the campus, will I be able to walk everywhere? What is the city like? Is it safe, does it have public transportation? Is the school public or private? Is there any religious affiliation? What is the typical class size?
Admissions & Academics: Does the school offer my major or interest? What ACT and Rank/GPA do I need? When is the application deadline? Does your major require extra requirements such as a portfolio, or specific training?
Expenses & Financial Aid: What is the typical financial aid package? What are the deadlines for scholarships and financial aid forms? What is the cost of Tuition, Room & Board? When are the deposit deadlines for dorm rooms? Are there other deposits for freshman?
Housing, Facilities & Activities: What are the dorms like? Do you have to live on campus? Does it offer the level of clubs, sports, etc. that you are looking for? What type of gym, work-out, pool, facilities are offered? Does the campus have a lap top program?

National Collegiate Athletic Association: NCAA
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) was established in 1906 and serves as the athletics governing body for more than 1,300 colleges, universities, conferences and organizations. The national office is in Indianapolis, but the member colleges and universities develop the rules and guidelines for athletics eligibility and athletics competition for each of the three NCAA divisions. The NCAA is committed to the student athlete and to governing competition in a fair, safe, inclusive and sportsmanlike manner. The NCAA membership includes: • 331 active Division I members; • 291 active Division II members; and • 429 active Division III members. One of the differences among the three divisions is that colleges and universities in Divisions I and II may offer athletics scholarships, while Division III colleges and universities may not.
What is the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse?
The NCAA Eligibility Center will certify the academic and amateur credentials of all college-bound student-athletes who wish to compete in NCAA Division I or II athletics. To assist with this process, the Eligibility Center staff is eager to foster a cooperative environment of education and partnership with high schools, high school coaches and college-bound student-athletes. Ultimately, the individual student-athlete is responsible for achieving and protecting his or her eligibility status.
Academic & Testing Requirements:
If you want to participate in athletics or receive an athletic scholarship during your first year, you must: Graduate from high school and complete these 16 core courses:
- 4 years of English
- 3 years of math (Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra II)
- 2 years of natural or physical science (including one year of lab science)
- 1 extra year of English, math, or natural/physical science
- 2 years of social science
- 4 years of extra core courses (from any category above, or foreign language, non-doctrinal religion or philosophy);
-Earn a minimum required grade-point average in your core courses
-Earn a combined SAT or ACT sum score that matches your core-course grade-point average and test score sliding scale
ACT Requirements
The NCAA requires prospects who intend to enroll at NCAA Division I and Division II institutions to supply ACT or SAT scores to the Clearinghouse directly from the testing agencies. Test scores on an official high school transcript are not acceptable. Start now and plan to have your ACT\SAT scores sent to the Clearinghouse (via code "9999") so that your certification decision will not be delayed. For more details consult the NCAA's website at
Getting Organized for Life after High School

Career Search
The Internet is one of the most valuable career research tools available to students today. Not only is information readily accessible at a rapid speed, but also online information is usually the most accurate and up-to-date information available. However, Internet users should beware of websites that charge users for career testing and resources. All of the websites and resources listed below are free of charge, and we strongly recommend students and their parents take advantage of free online resources. Below you will find various career web addresses along with a brief explanation of each website.
• The U.S. Department of Labor: Occupational Outlook Handbook
Web address: search/ooh.asp?ct=OOH
This web address will directly take users to an A-Z job occupation search. The user should have an idea of a career they would like to research when using this website. Example, I am interested in researching the career of a reporter. I select the letter R for reporter, and then a list of R careers is viewable on the screen. Once I find the word reporter on the screen I select the career, and then the following information regarding the career is reported: nature of the work, working conditions, employment, training required, job outlook, earnings, related occupations, and sources of additional information. This website is of extremely high quality, and is strongly recommended by the guidance department.
• The Occupational Information Network Online
Web address:
This website was created and is maintained by The U.S. Department of Labor, and is also highly recommended by the guidance department as a high quality website. This website will allow users to research careers using various tools, and it also provides a free career skills test. In addition to career assessments, the website also links users with relevant career-related articles such as articles on the fastest growing occupations.
• JobStar Career Guides
Web address:
On this website users will not only find resources aimed at discovering careers, but it also provides users with excellent resume examples. Another unique aspect of this website is the age-appropriate career guides that users can explore. There are also numerous links on this website that will lead users to other valuable career websites.

JOB HUNTING
Some students will choose full time employment as a first vocational choice. Many students will search for part-time, temporary employment during school or in the summer. Although the job market varies over time, there are many excellent opportunities for those who take the time to do a job search.
The first step in looking for employment is to let everyone know that you want a job. Talk with your parents, teachers, friends, prospective employers and counselor. You should begin this process well before graduation as it may take some time. Make sure to regularly check the want ads in all the area newspapers. Many newspapers have websites where you can search their classified ad section for work ads.
Make sure you register with the State Job Service. If you are interested in government employment, it will probably be necessary for you to take some type of examination. By the time you get to this stage, you should have a good idea as to the type of work you prefer.
Identify a number of employers who offer that kind of work and contact them directly. You may wish to send a letter of inquiry or simply call or visit the employer. A letter allows you to introduce yourself more formally and to let the employer know that you are interested. If you are uncertain as to which is the best approach for a particular employer, discuss it with your teachers/ counselor.
If you wish to apply for a specific job that has been advertised, a letter of application should be used. This letter is slightly different from a letter of inquiry since you know that a definite opening exists. In this letter, make sure to state where you learned of the opening.
The use of a resume, along with a letter or personal visit, is a good method of providing an employer with a description of your experience. A resume should include your name, address, telephone number, education, work and volunteer experience, special skills and any other information, which may help you, get the job you want. It is not necessary for you to include such data as age, weight, health or marital status. Talk with your counselor for more specific examples of resume writing.
JOB APPLICATIONS
Most employers require that you complete an employment application. This application provides specific information that is used in the hiring decision. Following are some guidelines for this process:
1. It is best to type or use black ink when completing applications. If it is possible, complete the application forms at home so you have access to the necessary information (i.e., references, phone numbers, addresses and dates). In the interest of neatness, write out the information on a blank piece of paper or on a copy of the application first and then transfer it to the original form.
2. Make sure that your application is neat and legible and that all portions are complete. Your application serves as a sample of your work and will influence the employer’s decision. If you fail to complete all sections or follow directions, the employer may question how well you would perform on the job.
3. In the event your original application needs corrections, ask for two copies so that you will be confident you are submitting the best possible application.
4. When completing an application, it is very important to state the specific type of work you would prefer. It is appropriate to say that you would consider other types of work, but the employer will be most likely to seriously consider you if it is apparent that you have given some thought to your future.
5. Most applications provide a place for you to list your special skills. This is the place for you to state that you type, have a driver’s license, can operate certain tools or equipment, work well with others or have other skills.
Tips for Interviewing
The employment interview gives the employer a chance to evaluate you while giving you the opportunity to decide if you would like the job. For most people, the interview is the most difficult part of looking for work. If you are properly prepared for the interview, however, you will find it a lot less threatening. Here are some suggestions to help you have a successful interview:
1. Bring your resume. Be prepared to fill out an application.
2. Take a record of your past employment, references and social security number (including dates and addresses).
3. Be on time. (Better ten minutes early.)
4. Learn all you can about the employer and the work performed.
5. Dress neatly and professional.
6. Let the employer control the interview.
7. Maintain good posture and eye contact.
8. Don't chew gum during the interview.
9. Be enthusiastic when you express what you like.
10. Keep your hands still.
11. Look at the interviewer.
12. Listen carefully and attentively.
13. Prepare, in advance, for each particular interview.
14. Know the tasks to be performed in the job for which you are applying.
15. Answer questions carefully, specifically, honestly, short, & to the point.
16. Address the job duties as you see them.
17. Explain your interest in this job by explaining your strong points.
18. Explain why you especially like this job.
19. Be prepared to discuss your future ambitions.
20. Don’t contradict yourself.
