Welcome to the "College Corner”, a wonderful resource for parents and high school students of Omega Academy. This is a place to have some of your questions answered regarding the college application process. There is a great deal of excitement for students in their senior year of high school, but with that excitement comes a bit of anxiety as they plan for their future.
Below, please find several links that will lead you to many of the answers. There is information about applying to colleges, applying for scholarships including the first steps toward becoming eligible for the HOPE Scholarship. In addition, there are links through which you may register for the SAT and the ACT, research what is required for NCAA eligibility, and explore Career Planning websites.
