Mr. Vrstt Kevin Garnett is arguably oneof the best all-around players today (known for bothhis offense and defense on the court). Focused onsuccess since his youth (winning National HighSchool Player of the Year), he was one of the rstpreps to the pros players in recent history. He hasbuilt a great reputation throughout the NBA, as hehas been voted Most Valuable Player and namedto more than ten All-Star teams. Garnett strivesto consistently work hard and set himself abovehis peers (1st NBA player to average at least 20

points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists per game for 6consecutive seasons). He possesses real leadershipqualities he led the Timberwolves to their rstplayoff game in franchise history and led the Celticsto their rst championship in over 20 years.

Bw t Rr Jorge Posada is arguably one of the most under-rated, short-stops. He has played in theshadow of his more famous teammates (which have included Jeter, Rivera, and A-Rod) on one of the most famousand beloved teams ever. This Hall of Famer is one of the best offensive catchers of all-time and certainly one ofthe Yankees best catchers ever, yet his patience and quiet personality often mean that he isnt front and centercompared to many of the other Yankees, yet he has the respect of everyone in the locker room. He and Yogi Berraremain the only Yankees catchers to ever hit more than 30 home runs in a season, and he personally has four

World Series rings from playing with the Yankees. He has clearly earned the respect of his bosses in 2007 hesecured his rst managerial win when former Yankees manager Joe Torre allowed Posada to act as the managerfor the nal regular game of the season. Posada has also won awards for his dedication to charity work, includingproviding support for youth baseball in needy areas and supporting medical research for craiosynostosis (a raremedical condition that his son was born with).

T pwrus Serena Williams has built her tennis successes around taking immediate control ofrallies with her powerful serve, aggressive return of serve, being quick on the court, forceful core strength, and anincredible self-condence. Serenas serve is widely regarded as one of the best in the womens game, and she haswon over ve Grand Slam single titles as well as a gold medal in the Olympics for doubles (with her sister). She isknown for bringing pure excitement (and aggression) to the sport and to her other passions, including fashion andacting. The envy of many of her peers, she has broken numerous records and smashed stereotypes in 1999 she

and her sister Venus both won titles in the same week, which was the rst time in professional tennis history thattwo sisters had accomplished that kind of achievement. Serenas powerful dedication has resulted in her beingthe last player, male or female, to have held all four Grand Slam singles titles simultaneously. Although Serena isoccasionally inconsistent often attributed to letting her emotions get the best of her she has few technicalweaknesses that can be exploited easily by other players on the court.

a ssct gr is awarded by community colleges, junior colleges, business colleges andsome bachelors degree-granting universities upon completion of a course of study usually lasting twoyears if the student attends full-time. An associate degree is equivalent to the rst half of a four-year

college degree, and many students go on to transfer to universities to complete their studies. Note: InNYC, the average time associated with obtaining this degree is 3.5 years.

a bcrs gr is awarded for completing coursework that generally lasts for four, or insome cases, ve or more years (full-time). The most common type of bachelors degrees are theBachelors of Arts (BA) and the Bachelors of Science (BS), and there is typically a much wider variety

of subjects, both general and specialied, available for students to study and major in. Bachelorsdegrees typically result in a greater number of professional career choices for graduates. Note: In

NYC, the average time associated with obtaining this degree is 5.2 years.

a mstrs gr is awarded after the completion of a one to three year program (depending onthe program), after already obtaining a bachelors degree. Many people work and gain experience aftercollege before pursuing a masters degree and then choose to go back to school to obtain a higher

qualication for employment purposes or in preparation for doctoral studies. Masters degrees arealso required for licensing in many professions, such as architecture, social work, and law (and manymore). Some universities provide for a joint bachelors and masters degree after completing ve or

more years of a specialied program. Most masters programs require completion of a major thesis (alengthy, well-researched paper). Note: In NYC, the average time associated with obtaining this degreeis 2.9-3.2 years.

a ctrt r pd is an academic degree that is usually the highest level of education thatpeople obtain within their professions. A doctorate degree is needed to become a doctor, dentist, orveterinarian, but PhDs can also be obtained in many other elds (e.g. college professors). The length

of time that it takes to obtain a PhD varies, but it usually requires multiple years of study and research.Note: In NYC, the average time associated with obtaining this degree is 4- 4.5 years.


1 Now that you know how much money college graduates earn compared to high school graduates, will youconsider furthering your education?

2 Which degree options are most interesting to you? Would you consider pursuing higher education in a stateother than New York (it could be a less expensive option)?

3 If you do not think you can (or want to) further your education right after high school what are yourplans? You can always work for a few years and then enroll in college or training but you need to have aplan and stick to it!

tapIn New York State, tuition assistance is provided through the TuitionAssistance Program (TAP). The TAP helps pay the tuition of eligiblefull-time students. The amount of TAP a student receives depends onhis/her family income, the number of family members attending collegefull-time, the number of semesters the student has received TAP, andthe equivalent as an associate degree student (even if the studentchanges majors or transfers to another community college). As a four-year student at a university, students become eligible for an additional2 full-time semesters of TAP bringing the undergraduate total to 8semesters.

pell grantSA Federal Pell Grant, unlike a Federal student loan, does not have to berepaid. Pell Grants are awarded usually only to undergraduate students

who have not earned a bachelors or a professional degree. Pell Grantsare considered a foundation of federal nancial aid, to which aid fromother federal and nonfederal sources might be added. The maximumcan change each award year and depends on program funding; themaximum award for the 2007-08 award year was $4,310. The amountreceived will depend not only on nancial need, but also on costs toattend school, status as a full-time or part-time student, and plans toattend school for a full academic year or less.

FeDeral SuppleMental eDuCatIon opportunItY grant(FSeog)The FSEOG program is for undergraduates with exceptionalnancial need. Pell Grant recipients with the lowest expected familycontributions (EFCs) will be considered rst for a FSEOG. Just like PellGrants, the FSEOG does not have to be repaid. You can receive between$100 and $4,000 a year, depending on when you apply, your nancial

need, and the funding and the nancial aid policies at the school youreattending.

aCaDeMIC CoMpetItIveneSS grantThe Academic Competitiveness Grant is available for rst and secondyear college students. This award is in addition to the students PellGrant award. Students who participate in and complete the StateScholars program are eligible, as are those that participate in AdvancedPlacement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses andtest scores while in high school (requires a minimum of two AP or IBcourses in high school and a minimum passing score of 3 or higher onAP exams and 4 or higher on IB exams). An eligible full-time studentthat is a U.S. citien may receive of up to $750 for the rst academicyear and up to $1,300 for the second academic year of study.

natIonal SCIenCe anD MatheMatICS aCCeSS to retaIn

talent (SMart) grantThe National SMART Grant is available during the third and fourthyears of undergraduate study to full-time students who are eligiblefor the Federal Pell Grant and who are majoring in physical, life, orcomputer sciences, mathematics, technology, or engineering or in aforeign language determined critical to national security. The studentmust also have maintained a cumulative grade point average (GPA)of at least 3.0 in coursework required for the major. This award is inaddition to the student s Pell Grant award and will provide up to $4,000for each of the third and fourth.

aID For part-tIMe StuDentS (aptS)For part-time students the APTS program, specically targetedtowards the lower income population, provides solutions to continuingeducation while pursuing a career. There are two ways to determineeligibility. If the student is not claimed by parents as a tax exemption,or does not claim dependents of his/her own, AND has a total New YorkState net taxable income of less than $34,251, he/she is eligible. In thecase the student is claimed by parents as a tax exemption or eligible toclaim dependents of his/her own, the total family net taxable incomemust not be greater than $50,501. In addition, the student cannothave used up undergraduate eligibility for TAP or other New York Statenancial aid programs for full-time study.

other grantSColleges and trade schools often provide institutional grants to help

make up the difference between college costs and what a family canbe expected to contribute through income, savings, loans, and studentearnings. Other grants, known as merit awards or merit scholarships,are awarded on the basis of academic achievement as they completecourses. Some merit awards are offered only to students whosefamilies demonstrate nancial need; others are awarded withoutregard to a familys nances. Some grants come with special privilegesor obligations. Others target certain characteristics or specicdemographics (e.g. women pursuing science, minorities, youth withconsiderable volunteer experience). Be sure to research and nd outabout the types of grants awarded by each college you consider.

The college tuition tax deduction saves middle class families across the country

thousands of dollars every year by allowing them to deduct up to $4,000 in college tuitionexpenses from their taxes. Single lers who earn up to $65,000 a year.

In general, it is more affordable to go to schools within the state in which you live, for

tuition as well as saving on other associated living costs. Private colleges (e.g. Columbiaor NYU) tend to be considerably more expensive than public universities (e.g. HunterCollege). However, scholarships and other aid may offset these costs, so be sure not to

limit yourself. There are a few universities that offer free tuition to individuals who areaccepted, such as Cooper Union in NYC and College of the Oarks, which offers freetuition for students who participate in work study programs. Do your research!

Save your money now to cover the costs of applying to college, which can add up. Ifyou are eligible for the federal lunch program, you can obtain waivers that allow you

to take the SAT Reasoning Test twice and apply to up to four colleges without charge.The ACT offers these students a one-time fee waiver along with the option of applyingto four schools without cost. Fee waivers also are available to low-income students forAP exams and the College Scholarship Service Prole. As well, many campuses allow a

limited number of application fee waivers. Since fee waiver policies and availability varyfrom college to college, check with the admissions ofces of each college that you areconsidering.

Another money-saving option is going to a junior college and then transferring to a 4year college. In general, attending a junior college is signicantly less expensive than its

four-year counterpart. As well, two-year colleges tend to have greater exibility in classschedules (as well as multiple locations e.g. within the CUNY system students can takeclasses at different schools for certain degrees) thus making it more convenient for part-time, working students to attend. Moreover, two-year colleges can help relieve the intense

pressure of choosing a career path right out of high school.

What is networking? You may have heard people use the term networking as an important part

of getting a job. What does this word really mean? In most cases, it just means talking to people.

Networking is talking to people about the work that they do, helping them get to know you andyour job skills and interests. Networking is a good way to nd out about job opportunities, get a

leg up on other candidates, and advance a career.

Why network? Because many jobs are seldom advertised; meaning employers hire people who

are referred to them by colleagues, friends and family.
