6. The Reality
• College is going to mean a lot of things to you, so that is okay
• It is the next step of your education which is very real, it
will be both fun and scary, it could be expensive, and it
will help you reach your future career.
• Colleges are EVERYWHERE so you can decide where the
next chapter of your life will lead.
• Brockton High is a unique place because it is so much bigger
than most high schools. Think about what size you want to
be at, there is a size and a space for everyone.

7. The Reality
• When it comes to college cost there are going to be some
concerns
• You need to be smart about financial aid, and applying to
schools that are a match for you financially.
– Everyone talks about reaches, matches, and safeties in your
grades, but you should also be thinking about it financially.
• Utilize your resources to find money for college, it’s amazing
how quickly four or five scholarships build up to pay for
books, or more!

8. The Price is Right…
• The rules of the game:
– You can divide yourself into teams, but you need to be
prepared that there are only five prizes for the team so you
want to make sure that each member of your team will get a
prize
– A name of a college and a description will pop up on the
screen. Each team will have ninety seconds to confer after the
description is read. They will have to select what they believe
the expected price is for the student.
– The team who gets closest, without going over, will get a point
and will send one member of their team to play in the bonus
prize round, where that one person will play the speed round.

9. The Price is Right….
• Speed Round
– Speed round will allow the one player to hear five specific parts
of the college cost they just guessed, and guess what the college
expects you to spend.
– For each question that they come within 100 dollars on they
will gain an extra point.
• If two teams guess the same amount and are both closest,
then they will both get the point and come play the speed
round. If all teams guess the same amount and are all the
closest no teams will get the point.

10. Are you ready to
play the Price is
Right?!
