Preparing For College How Much Can I Make? College is Affordable Applying to College University System of Maryland Schools

Welcome to Tip of the Week

Good advice on preparing for college comes from many sources, including family members; teachers and guidance counselors; students; and community leaders. With that in mind, the Way2GoMaryland website is introducing a new feature: Tip of the Week. Each Monday, Way2GoMaryland will post a new tip from people you know or may have heard of as well as people you don't know. But they all have one thing in common: a genuine interest in helping students start early on the path to college.

Visit this page every week. Way2GoMaryland hopes these tips teach, inspire, and motivate.
