High School Buy Plan

College is Yours in 600 Words or Less was written to provide students and families with a comprehensive introduction to making the most of the college selection process. With 30 chapters addressing everything from study habits to campus visits to how to handle waitlists, the only thing missing from College is Yours are some words of advice from you, the student's counselor, to make the introduction perfect and personalized.

And now, you can add the missing ingredient. The Internet edition of College is Yours contains general advice on how to create a good working relationship with your high school counselor in Chapter 10. If your school orders enough (100 books minimum), Patrick O'Connor will re-write Chapter 10 to your counseling office's specifications. You can also add up to 8 pages of information about your high school-- counselor names and contact information, a description of the services your counseling office offers, dates of key meetings and deadlines and more.

This special edition of College is Yours will provide your students with your best advice on how to make the most of your school's counseling services; this can include anything from outlining the resources available in your office to how to schedule an appointment to when to start talking to you about the college selection process--you decide! Combined College is Yours, your specially tailored edition will be a great one-two combination to get your students focused and ready to make the most of your counseling wisdom

And the best news is, your edition of College is Yours will be far less than the price of the Internet edition. Thanks to a special printing opportunity, you can get 200 copies of a customized version of College is Yours delivered to your building for $11 a book. When you compare this to the online price, with delivery, that's about a 41% discount--and this is for a specially made edition! Comparable savings can be made for smaller and larger orders as well--just ask.

Regardless of your caseload, reaching all of your students with the same college counseling essentials is important--but it can be challenging. College is Yours in 600 Words or Less can be your most essential college planning tool, guiding students to a successful counseling relationship, and to successful college options--and all at a bargain of a price.

College is Yours is pleased to announce the availability of La Universidad es Tuya, the Spanish language version of College is Yours. Since over 70% of Hispanic students speak a language other than English at home, it's important to have college information the whole family can share. That's why La Universidad es Tuya was created.

Thanks to the generous support of schools, agencies, and corporate sponsors, La Universidad es Tuya is available to families free of charge. If you're interested in ordering a copy, please give us your name and mailing address once you click here. If you're interested in sponsoring copies of La Universidad es Tuya, or putting a link to the PDF version of the book on your Web site, please read below.

Our goal is to distribute 300,000 copies of La Universidad es Tuya and have it linked to 50 Web sites by October 1, 2009--and your help is needed. Spread the word about this effort, and let the world know La Universidad es Tuya!

Opportunities for Schools, Foundations, Agencies, and Businesses to Support La Universidad es Tuya

La Universidad Es Tuya En 600 Palabras O Menos holds a special place among college guides available in the United States. In addition to being one of the few college books in Spanish that guides families through the college preparation and selection process, La Universidad Es Tuya is also available to students and families for free, thanks to the support of the author, translators, and design team, who contributed to this book without payment or royalty.

The only costs associated with La Universidad Es Tuya cover printing and shipping, expenses provided through the support of schools, foundations agencies, and businesses.. There are three ways your support can get what has been called "the best college guide ever written" into the hands of families and students throughout the country:

Distribution through College is Yours Requests are already coming in from families and counselors for individual copies of La Universidad Es Tuya, and more requests are expected as word spreads about the value of the book. These requests are filled as they come in; often, there is a backlog of requests as sponsors are sought to support the next printing of the book.

Sponsors of this effort are recognized in several ways. First, the sponsor is given their own page in La Universidad Es Tuya to welcome the reader and provide any information they wish about their institution or organization--in keeping with the rest of the book, this information must be in Spanish, and there is only one sponsor per book, so you will have the readers' undivided attention. Sponsors also have their logo printed on the front cover of the book, and the name of their organization is placed on the Donor Roll of La Universidad Es Tuya on the book's Web site. Sponsors will also be recognized in a thank you ad that will appear in the conference program booklet for the annual conference of the National Association for College Admission Counseling and other printed advertising that may become available.

Direct Distribution Sponsors who work directly with students and families may also choose to have copies of La Universidad Es Tuya printed and shipped to their offices for direct distribution. Recognition of the sponsors for this package is the same as those supporting distribution of the book through College is Yours, and offers the opportunity to see the impact of this book with your own clients.

Dedicated Web Space Since the goal of La Universidad Es Tuya is to get the information to as many families as possible, a PDF of the book is also available for sponsors to post on their own Web site. The same sponsorship recognitions exist for this package; in exchange, the sponsor must agree to post the book in its entirety to their Web site for at least one year.

Levels of Giving Donors will be recognized at the following levels:
