Are you nervous about your upcoming college or scholarship interview?  Do you feel like you need a bit more preparation?  Allow Crosby to help you through the process by scheduling a (currently virtual) mock interview between the hours of 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m.  Monday-Friday.  Experienced counselors will pose questions similar to those in a real interview to help you prepare for meeting with admission and/or scholarship committees.  In addition, they will review your activities resume to suggest content you might want to emphasize during interviews.  Please log in to your Crosby Scholars Student portal for more details and to register.

Many college admission and scholarship applications require one or more essays.  Writing essays is often the most intimidating aspect of applying to college.  The Senior Program offers free essay review in order to help you submit strong writing samples.  We believe it is beneficial for an impartial person to read your work and encourage you to use this service. Please log in to your Crosby Scholars Student Portal for details.

The Senior Program is offering an online, self-paced Crosby Senior Academy through CFNC’s Financial Basics for High School and Beyond.  You must apply for academy credit by December 2020. This online opportunity will allow you to earn one of the two academy credits needed to fulfill your senior academy requirement. You do not need to have a CFNC account to participate in this academy.

A brief primer on Crosby Scholars Senior Academies:  Academies are held annually over a 6-month period (July to December); students must attend two and are free to choose those that best suit their needs and interests; the most up-to-date information on the academies is found in the student portal; while they are a program requirement, academies are best viewed as opportunities to gain knowledge and skills that guide students through senior year and into post-secondary education.
