Workshops and Labs

Monthly workshops and hands-on labs will be focused on different college-related topics, with the option to attend as many as you need to make the most of the GRIT program! Workshop topics will include college applications, filling out the FAFSA and CSS Profile, navigating housing, interpreting financial aid packages, applying to scholarships, and more.

GRIT 2026 orientations are now open! Interested students can enroll in GRIT by signing up for one of the 3 onboarding sessions featured on our workshop page. Throughout your senior year, you will attend hands-on labs to work through your college plan. Those interested may also sign up for a comprehensive newsletter where you will receive notifications on upcoming labs and links to all content covered.

The GRIT program is for high school seniors looking to enroll in Fall 2026.
