College App. Assistance: College Foundation of NC (CFNC) Webinars
The College Foundation of North Carolina (CFNC) is a free online resource provided by the state of North Carolina to help students plan, apply, and pay for college. It's a collaboration between several organizations, including the North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority and the UNC System. CFNC.org is the official website for this service. They are hosting a handful of student and parent webinars in the Fall. Below are just two of the upcoming opportunities.
1) Finding and Applying for the Right Scholarships. The best scholarships are local ones. CFNC experts will share where to look for scholarships students might qualify for and how they can put their best foot forward in their application process.
Date: September 9
Time: 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm

2) NC College Connect is a program that provides a simpler and faster way to get admitted to college in North Carolina. Students from a North Carolina public high school with a weighted GPA of 2.8 or above who meet the NC College Connect requirements are automatically admitted to select North Carolina colleges and universities. All they need to do is submit a form to accept their admission—it’s easy!
Date: September 16th at 6:00 pm. No need to register; just click the link on the cfnc webpage when the session is ready to begin.

Voyager Alumnus And NBA Player Jay Huff, And Indiana Pacers Coach Visit Sports & Culture Class
Jay Huff, who helped lead Voyager to the 2016 NC 1A Basketball Championship, returned to Voyager last week and spoke to Coach Huff's Sports & Culture class. Huff was traded to the Indiana Pacers in July after playing the 2024-25 season with the Memphis Grizzlies. Jay was accompanied by Jim Boylen, assistant coach for the Pacers. Coach Boylen has been in the NBA for many years, both as an assistant coach and a head coach. The two have been reunited in Indianapolis after first meeting when Coach Boylen was the head coach of a USA Basketball team that visited South America in 2023.
Huff and Boylen both shared stories of their basketball careers, then answered questions about the role of sports in our country, how sports are changing, and other basketball-related questions. Coach Boylen also challenged members of the class to do the things that lead to success in sports and life. It was a great session that should make an impact on the students in the class!
