Class of 2020 During the summer of 2019, scholars attend a 3 day Summer Intensive Writing Workshop. A session on how to write an effective college application essay is given and students work with their assigned essay coach to generate essays for the colleges to which they plan to apply. In the fall, LBCPA monthly meetings resume with a focus on completing college applications, writing essays, applying for scholarships, securing letters of recommendations, and so on. A financial aid workshop is provided for parents and scholars in early fall. In April 2020, parents and students attend a Decision Day Meeting to review admission, scholarship and financial aid offers. To help parents and students make an informed decision on which college to attend, parents and students meet privately with college counselors and/or financial aid advisors to evaluate offers. The program culminates with an Graduation Celebration for scholars and their families in late May/Early June 2020. Meeting Schedule Most meetings will be held at the LBUSD Teacher Resource Center. A detailed schedule will be provided at a later date. The Summer Intensive Writing Workshop will be held for 3 days during the summer at a location mutually agreed upon by LBUSD and TCB.
