QUALITATIVE RESPONSES

Is there any advice you would give to an admissions counselor on connecting with prospective students? (*This answer was written more than once)

• Specialized presentations - safety on campus, general scholarship application tips, writing a college essay
• Continued personal contact from college reps in their senior year
• Promotions of key programs* and tracks from programs to advanced degrees or career paths
• Get connected with "raise.me" scholarship tool
• Up to date and user friendly websites*
• Easier to navigate websites, especially for 2- year campuses whose websites direct to 4-year websites 
• Social media presence
• Visiting MT high schools
• Face to face visits*
• Free stuff!

​Please share any other thoughts, ideas or feedback on how the colleges can better serve you and your students.

• Keep counselors posted on changes in programs and facilities on campus
• Keep counselors posted on how students can be better prepared for college - what skills are they lacking?
• Reminders about financial aid, scholarship, and application deadlines*
• Better orientations for Native American students (like international student orientations) to help with retention
