The College Hub at Foundation Communities is busy preparing for the upcoming financial aid season and we are looking forward to supporting your students on their pathway to higher education.   

Make an appointment at the Prestige Portraits studio in Cedar Park at www.prestigeportraits.com/cedarpark. The yearbook pose is the formal drape/tux. (There is NO sitting fee for the yearbook pose only.)

The portrait deadline to guarantee your photo will appear in the yearbook is Wednesday, Nov. 24.

Additional info will be forthcoming after school begins regarding the Prestige photographers being on campus to take yearbook poses only.

Student Search Service® connects you with colleges, universities, and scholarship programs looking for students like you. By participating, you’ll give College Board permission to share information like your name, high school, and score range with these organizations. Once you’ve opted in, colleges and scholarship programs can send you information by mail and email. Organizations pay College Board to use the service, but it’s free for you.  Connect with Colleges Flyer
