College Application Essentials Workshop: A Rotary Community Fundraiser

The Rotary Club of San Ramon Valley is pleased to share this community-based opportunity for students in the Class of 2027.

We are offering an intensive, one-day online workshop designed to help motivated high school seniors make meaningful progress on their college applications before Labor Day. The workshop will cover UC Personal Insight Questions, the UC Activities and Awards section, the Common Application essay, “Why College?” supplements, and the college résumé. Students will also examine successful essay samples from UCs, private universities, liberal arts colleges, and other popular institutions.

The workshop will be taught by a team of formally trained Independent Educational Consultants who belong to professional organizations such as IECA, HECA, NACAC, and WACAC. With approximately one mentor for every five students, participants will receive instruction, hands-on breakout-room guidance, practical templates, and resources they can continue using independently.

This is a limited, community-service workshop rather than a substitute for a student’s existing college counselor or IEC. Students may continue working with their current advisors after the program.
