Free College Search Talk at West Falmouth Library

West
Falmouth Library, 575 West Falmouth Highway, will offer a free talk on the
college search process by
Elizabeth Caputi, principal consultant with College Compass, a consulting
company based in Brunswick, ME, on Thursday, Jan. 16 at 7 pm. This session will
be geared to high school sophomores and juniors and their families but anyone
with an interest in the college process is encouraged to attend.



Caputi will offer advice and insights to students and
families eager to begin the college hunt. Sifting through information on the
thousands of colleges and universities available both in the US and abroad is a
daunting task. She will suggest resources for starting the search and discuss
how to find the “best fit” schools. She will provide an overview of testing
strategies and options along with a timetable for taking the various required
tests. Caputi will share tips on “shameless (but effective) self-promotion,”
touching on artistic, musical and athletic talent. Lastly, she will discuss the
financial aid process, the resources available to families and what sort of
grants to anticipate from various types of colleges.



For more information about these and other programs at
the library, call 508-548-4709, email westfallib@comcast.net or visit westfalmouthlibrary.org.
