“With the help of Palouse Pathways I applied to schools I was passionate about, fit my ideas about the type of college education myself and my parents were excited about, and offered me the option of great financial aid.
College Exploration helped me more than anything else to decide what I did not want, which in some ways I believe is more valuable than trying to nail down exactly what you want. Now I feel like I have control over those choices and understand the process. ”
