Faithful College Readiness: The Complete Student Workbook

Discover Your Gifts. Build Your Purpose. Prepare for College with Confidence.

College preparation is about more than grades, applications, and choosing a school. It's about discovering who you are, understanding your strengths, making informed decisions, and preparing for the future with confidence and purpose.

Created by Lisa Vento Nielsen, MBA, OFS, author, educator, and founder of Chiara Press, Faithful College Readiness combines practical college planning with faith-based reflection to help high school students take ownership of their futures.

This 78-page, full-color digital workbook brings together helpful teaching explanations, interactive exercises, planning tools, and actionable assignments in one easy-to-follow resource.

What's Inside?

Organized into six practical modules, this workbook helps students:

• Discover Their Strengths: Identify talents, interests, values, and personal accomplishments.
• Explore Future Possibilities: Investigate potential majors, career paths, and personal goals.
• Find the Right College Fit: Compare colleges, academic programs, admission requirements, and affordability.
• Build a Student Portfolio: Organize extracurricular activities, leadership, volunteer experience, and achievements.
• Prepare for Applications: Develop application timelines, brainstorm personal essays, and plan recommendation requests.
• Plan for College Life: Prepare for the transition to college with practical goals, resources, and action steps.

More Than Just Worksheets

Each module includes guided teaching, thoughtful reflection questions, hands-on activities, and action assignments designed to turn ideas into real progress.

Students will develop a personalized collection of planning tools they can revisit throughout high school and the college application process.
