Education expert and Soar 2 Success Consulting LLC founder Carrie Bedard shares essential strategies for academic achievement and college preparation.
Strategic planning proves vital for student success. Students should establish clear academic goals early, using planners to track progress throughout the year. Early intervention in challenging subjects, particularly mathematics, helps build confidence before classes begin.
Florida students pursuing Bright Futures Scholarships need to maintain specific academic benchmarks. The program requires a 3.0-3.5 GPA, completion of 16 core credits, and 100 hours of community service or paid work. Parents can track eligibility through Florida Shines and connect with other families via the Bright Futures Scholarship Parent Page.
To manage back-to-school anxiety, students benefit from creating comfort plans that include selecting outfits in advance, mapping travel routes, and bringing familiar items to school.
College preparation should start freshman year with rigorous coursework and community involvement. Students interested in scholarships should submit the Florida Financial Aid Application starting October 1 of senior year, with testing requirements due by August after graduation.
