Junior year is almost over. Take a few steps over the summer to prepare yourself for bigger steps during senior year.

*Visit colleges*

Schedule campus tours at two or three colleges or career training programs. This will help you learn about different education environments and decide which style is a good fit.

*Outline an essay*

Many post-high school education applications require an essay, so take time to think about one and outline it. Get tips and see samples at BigFuture [ [link removed] ] or see the 12th Year Campaign's Junior/Senior Student Workbook [ [link removed] ].

*Take summer classes at a local college*

Enrolling in summer courses can help you get ahead, and shows admissions officers that you are serious about and capable of being an academic success at their school.

*Learn about financial aid*

Washington?s generous state financial aid programs [ [link removed] ] can help pay for many types of education beyond high school, like certificate programs, job training, or college. You can use financial aid at over 67 participating institutions [ [link removed] ] in Washington, and for approved apprenticeships [ [link removed] ].
