ACADEMIC ADVANTAGE RESOURCES
We were so happy to host our Virtual Academic Advantage event on April 24. Our featured speakers gave an overview of what it took for them to become the medical professionals they are today, while our counselor gave practical advice for the next steps students should take, including college research and applications. We also awarded two $250 scholarships to students who joined us online, as well as gave away an iPad, Amazon Tablet, and $100 Main Event Oklahoma City gift card.
The resources below are designed to help you on your path to becoming a healthcare professional. The entire presentation is available as a video to review or watch for the first time if you were unable to join us. We also have the presentation slides and links to learn more about local colleges, universities, community organizations, and nonprofits.
