Free PATH to Washington and Lee University for HS Seniors, Due: 8/8
Background: Getting ready for college can be tough when you don’t have help. That’s why Washington and Lee University created PATH — a special program for high school juniors who are strong students but may not have many college resources. PATH is a free, 2-day college visit that includes real college classes, one-on-one time with W&L students and staff, and help with the application and financial aid process. You’ll live in a dorm, eat in the dining hall, and see what college is really like.
