The power of change starts and ends with the youth! On April 27th, the Mu Sigma Zeta chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Incorporated hosted a scholarship application workshop at the George L. Stevens Center in San Diego. The sorority offered two separate workshop dates to give everyone in the community a chance to come and learn about the college application process, as well as what they can expect on campus, and how they can fully optimize their college experience.

The Finer Foundations Scholarship Application Workshop is curated with high school juniors and seniors in mind. While the college applications process can be both tedious and intimidating, the ladies of Zeta Phi Beta broke the details of applying to college down in a way that was easy to receive.

During the workshop they covered everything from what to include in your entry essay, to when to submit applications, how to submit them, and which extra curricular activities to include on your resume when submitting. 

“Our goal is to really teach these students how to not only apply for college, but how to sustain when they get there. We want them to feel supported and to have the knowledge they need to be successful after they’re accepted to college too. We want them to do well ”, said one soror.
