BCS - Educational Opportunities -

For those of you who have students at BROOKFIELD CENTRAL, there are several opportunities you should be aware of.    

WANT A FREE HIGH-TECH EDUCATION IN ALBANY?
The Colleges of Nanoscale Science and Engineering at SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Albany says it has started to accept applications for the fall 2015 semester.The university, which is now independent of the University at Albany, said that a “significant number” of full and partial scholarships are available for those who are accepted into the prestigious program.SUNY Poly recently began accepting applications for admission to CNSE with authorization from the New York State Education Department.  Students can apply using the SUNY application, the Common Application, or by going to the CNSE website.

FREE SAT Prep COURSE OFFERED THROUGH COLGATE UNIVERSITY
Another session of Let’s Get Ready (LGR) is about to begin at Colgate. As always, LGR provides SAT preparation for all high school juniors in our area. The SAT prep is provided by Colgate student coaches who have been trained by the national Let’s Get Ready organization and who have recently taken the SAT exam.  The Let’s Get Ready program meets two times a week on Colgate’ Campus. All high school students participating in LGR will receive approximately 15 hours each of both Math and Verbal Training. The program also includes two practice SAT exams. LGR will meet on Colgate’s campus on Thursday and Sunday evenings throughout the spring 2015 semester. The program will begin with the first practice SAT exam and a parent orientation on Sunday, February 1, 2015 and will conclude April 30, in time for the SAT test on Saturday, May 2, 2015. We are pleased to be offering both SAT preparation and LGR’s College Choice curriculum again this spring.  As in years past, LGR is FREE for all high school juniors. Although the program is free, students will be asked to submit a $25 deposit in the form of a check or blank money order at the start of the program. The deposit will be returned to students who meet the attendance requirement (no more than 3 absences). The application link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ColgateSS...
