Many students rule out college as an option because they don't believe they can afford the cost. Helping these students learn about scholarships and financial aid is key to increasing college access. Anne Arundel County Public Schools have made Counselor's Office from Naviance part of a major effort to close the scholarship gap among county high schools. With powerful scholarship search and tracking tools, Counselor's Office helps the district's counseling team make sure students are aware of millions of dollars of local scholarships they may qualify for and that those awards can be recorded to monitor the district's progress toward ensuring all students can consider college as an option after graduation. See "Third Floor: Closing the Scholarship Gap" for the full story in the Maryland Gazette.
