Abstract | This bilingual guide (English and Spanish) provides information for migrant students on postsecondary education. The guide includes information on: (1) career planning, involving self-exploration, occupational exploration, and strategies for reaching career objectives; (2) planning for postsecondary education during high school, including a year-by-year plan for grades 10-12; (3) planning for technical or vocational school, including a year-by-year plan for grades 9-12; (4) financial aid through grants, loans, work study, and scholarships, and tips for applying for financial aid; and (5) the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP), a federal program that provides aid to higher education institutions to fund academic and personal support services for eligible migrant and seasonal farmworker students. The name and addresses of universities that accept applications for CAMP are included. Terms related to postsecondary education are explained, such as commuter student, quarter, residency, American College Testing Program (ACT), the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), and the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT). The remainder of the guide provides information on 51 scholarships, many of which target minority and migrant students. Entries include name, foundation or corporation, address, purpose, eligibility, award, application deadline, and restrictions. (LP) |
