Palouse Pathways seminar topic on selective colleges

PALOUSE - The non-profit Palouse Pathways hosts two Selective College Workshops in May and June for students interested in going to exclusive universities such as Harvard, Stanford, and Yale.

Both meetings will be held on Zoom.

The first is set for May 23 from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m., followed by another on June 19, from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Peggy Jenkins, director of Palouse Pathways, emphasizes the kind of colleges' admission rates are less than 5%, and though expensive, aid is available for low and moderate-income families. She said the schools are interested in applicants from small towns and rural areas.

The May 23 session is to include representatives from Dartmouth, Yale, Cal Tech, Cornell, University of Chicago, and more. June 19 features speakers from Tulane, Brown University, Amherst College, and Whitman.
