NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — School may be out for the summer, but for rising high school seniors with their eyes on college, this is a critical time to prepare.
That's why Carrie Sharp talked with folks at Vanderbilt University who want to help families navigate the admission process - and are hosting a series of free workshops that you should know about.
She talked with Derek Nido from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at Vanderbilt about what the workshops will go over for students and families.
"We're going to cover the college fit process and finding the right college for you, helping to build your college list, touch on financial aid as well and application requirements.....the general things you might need to apply to college."

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
