ROAD TO COLLEGE is an hour-long program about the entire college application process.

Some of the material covered in the program includes the decision to go to college; selecting the right college; the college application; SAT tests; the college essay requirement; college interviews; financial aid; FASFA forms; federal grants; scholarships; college loans; acceptance notification.

The program follows a fictional high school student and his parents through this college process, from high school to the university. We see the problems in picking a college, applying to several colleges, filling out forms, and facing tuition costs from the family perspective. This drama is light in tone and each scene is brief, intending to introduce new topics.

Also, the production makes use of first hand testimonials from college students relating their experience in picking a college, writing the college application essay, and gaining entrance.

The show includes interviews with high school counselors, college admission officers, financial aid administrators, as well as business leaders and college professors.

This program is designed for high school students and their parents. The "how-to" portion will walk the viewer through the college process with an emphasis on financial aid. The interviews and testimonials provide inspiration for those likely to be overwhelmed by the process.

The primary audience for this program are students in high school, parents, and educators.

Featured in the program: Barbara Bush, former first Lady; Madeline Kunin, Deputy Secretary of Education; Professor Cornel West, former director of Afro-American studies at Princeton; Fred Hargadon, director of Admissions at Princeton, and Michael Curry, former dean of the Woodlands Scholars Academy.
