Junior High Students to Visit Flathead Valley Community College

On Thursday, January 10th, 2013, all of Troy’s junior high students will go to Kalispell to visit Flathead Valley Community College.

College visits are a vital part of the GEAR UP program because it exposes students to a college campus at a young age, gives them time to ask questions of college admissions employees, and introduces them to current college students.

Our students will learn about the options to attend college close to home and learn that a college education is affordable and vital to succeeding in today’s world. By learning about the diverse programs available to them, students will gain confidence that their futures are bright and open to the many possibilities awaiting them.

As for the immediate results after a college visit, students will be more educated about college and financial aid options and see the link between doing well in school now in order to be able to continue their education in the future.
