Lastly, I would really take a look at the Iowa Edge Program. Participating in this program ensures a successful transition into college life. I participated in it last year, and I will be a Leader in the program this summer (because I loved it so much!) It’s not time for applications yet but I am sure in the next month or two it will be time.
