Shortly after you fill out the respective Google Form for your interest (High Schools Students or Mentors), Kayle or Johnny will contact you. High school students will be paired with a current mentor who is informed of your interests and who will walk you through parts of the college admissions process that are confusing and be there to answer questions throughout the process. College students from SD interested in serving as a mentor will also be contacted shortly after filling out the form by either Kayle or Johnny to discern how to meet your service goals.

The network is open to all South Dakotans interested in building a community of scholars both inside and outside the state of South Dakota. High school students with questions about college admissions, financial aid, or scholarship opportunities are encouraged to join the network and we welcome any student interested in discerning their college or career path to connect with us as well! For current college students from South Dakota, we welcome you to join this network to give advice and resources to students in the shoes you were in only a couple of years ago. This network is an excellent opportunity to give back and build a strong scholastic South Dakota community.

We are so excited that you are interested in the South Dakota College Connections! If you are not planning to apply during this admissions cycle, we encourage you to reach out to Kayle or Johnny to talk about your college admissions goals and to stay in touch to join the network during your admissions cycle year.
