TG co-sponsors chat event on standardized tests, college admissions, financial aid

Round Rock, Texas — Students and parents who have questions about standardized tests, college admissions, and financial aid can get the answers they need during a chat event on Mapping Your Future (http://mapping-your-future.org), a public-service Web site co-sponsored by TG and other student loan guarantors. Scheduled for August 9, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. (CDT), the Internet chat provides a unique opportunity to receive information and guidance about standardized tests and college admissions, as well as financial aid information and instructions for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The interactive event is designed to help students navigate through career, college and financial aid information — all from the privacy and convenience of a personal computer.

During the chat event, students and their families will learn more about:

  • selecting a school;
  • preparing academically for college;
  • applying to school;
  • standardized tests, such as the ACT and SAT;
  • considering different types of schools; and
  • financial aid and the FAFSA.

Anyone with Internet access can join in the chat event by visiting http://mapping-your-future.org. On Aug. 9, participants can go to the site and select "Chat Session." Simple instructions will explain how to join the chat.
