The College and Academic Counselors (CACs) collaborate in the development and delivery of college application materials, financial aid, and college admission testing, as well as all course selection and scheduling processes, academic counseling, and intervention programs. CACs also serve on a support team with other academic, residential, and student life members.
The college planning process at IMSA is comprised of individual meetings with students and research tools.
Financial aid plays a central and essential role in supporting post-secondary education by providing money for college to eligible students and families.
