College & Career Support

Supporting Student and Alumni Pathways
Marwen’s College, Career, & Alumni team works with students, alumni, and their families as they transition to high school, college, or the workforce and helps them identify pathways to reach their goals. Our resources and programs are for everyone, including students who are undocumented, studying art, or pursuing studies and work outside the arts.

Our College, Career, and Alumni team offers:

Individual Counseling
  • High School Selection Process

Free Workshops and Events
  • College and Career Fairs
  • SAT Practice Test

I learned how to compare colleges... manage the money they gave me, and how much my family and I could afford.
