Still Making your College List??

Try visiting the College Board Website, which has great resources for finding the right college fit. If you make an account you can begin making a college list that you can save and come back to.

Happy Searching!!


Organizing Your Scholarship Applications with Google Sheets

Once you sign up for sites like FastWeb or Scholarships.com you will need to stay organized with all the applications and deadlines.

An easy way to do this is to create a free Google Spreadsheet to keep a neat list of all the applications you are going to apply to over the next few years. You can create another list for all the college programs you are thinking of applying to, their requirements, and deadlines. Keep yourself on track!

Below is a tutorial on how to get started with Google Spreadsheets after you make a Google account (if you don't already have one!).

$$$Remember, you'll need a spreadsheet to keep track of all the FREE MONEY you are searching for$$$

With hard work and by staying focused, this can be your future :) 

Medicine Needs Black and Latino Physicians

Why medicine needs you!


¾ of physicians are white, while 3.3 percent are black,  5.3 percent are Hispanic, and 17.2 percent are Asian or other races.

12% of Americans are black and 13% Hispanic, meaning the number of doctors of color are greatly underrepresented
