For nearly a decade, college access advisors from Great Lakes have teamed with high school counselors across Wisconsin to put more students on the path to college. We’ve seen first-hand how your guidance can be the determining – and often sole – factor in a student’s decision to enroll in postsecondary education. We applaud you, and to support the important work you do we’re pleased to sponsor scholarships for 25 counselors new to the profession to attend the 2017 WSCA Conference.
We value the professional development opportunities available at the conference, and we want more new counselors take advantage of them. It is our goal to eliminate financial barriers that may prevent a high school counselor from receiving the most recent updates on entrance exams, access programs, the UW-system and much more. Additionally, attending the conference allows you to meet engaged peers from across the state and build support networks to sustain your ongoing learning.
We encourage you to apply.

• $275 WSCA Member Registration fees for Preconference & Conference • $400 Room at conference hotel (Hilton Monona Terrace) & Parking
