Opportunities to play travel soccer in Fall 2019 The Club recently completed tryouts for teams for the upcoming Fall 2019 Season. We are in the late stage of team formation-however- there are a limited number of roster spots available at most age groups in already formed teams, so we encourage parents to reach out to us should they have interest in their child playing travel soccer this Fall! Contact us at: president@hunterdonfc.org. Visit our website at: www.HunterdonFC.org Do you know that less than 50% of full-time students do not complete a bachelor's degree within four years? Do you know the BEST strategy for reducing the cost of college? Here is the answer: INCREASE the odds that your son/daughter will graduate ON TIME – because TIME IS MONEY. How do you do this? 1. Choose a college with a high retention rate. (Let's take Syracuse University as an example. The six-year graduation rate for a four-year degree is ONLY 83%!). I am not sure about you, but I would not be happy paying $73,000/year to find out that my son/daughter needed another $146,000 to be part of the 83% who graduate. One of my favorite and free tools for finding stats on retention and graduation rates for all colleges is College Navigator, run by the National Center for Education Statistics: http://nces.edu.gov/ collegenavigator. They also have a no-frills college search tool. 2. Invest in a College Advisor (and be sure to look at their credentials!). Do they have experience working at both a high school AND college? I've worked at both in addition to working at The College Board headquarters AND I have a counseling license in addition to my School Counseling certificate in NJ. A College Advisor will have many hours of dialogue with your son or daughter as they navigate the career and college selection process. She will help them choose a major, find shadowing experiences, assist with essay brainstorming, streamline the application process and help them make sense of their college visits and career aspirations. Choose wisely. Start early. As your family's college advisor, I can potentially save you THOUSANDS of dollars and, based on testimonials from my clients, I take the stress out of a potentially very stressful process – which is priceless.
