Get Help from ICAN
Planning for college and filing for financial aid can be confusing and intimidating, whether you're doing it for the first time or the ninth. For that reason, ICAN staff will meet individually with students and their families at their offices in Cedar Rapids and West Des Moines as often as parents want, with absolutely no charge.
or
Iowa Financial Aid Help

When College Admissions Visit West
Each fall, college admissions officers visit West High. Students, especially juniors and seniors, should take advantage of this opportunity.
Students get to learn first-hand about colleges that may, or may not, be on  their radar, and/or to meet the person who maybe reviewing their application; in turn, college admissions get a chance to share their school’s background and requirements and to meet that West student who may be a "great fit" for their college. Don't Miss Out!

Yes, there is an App for that...
And they're free -
College Search App
The ACT College Search app provides students with  valuable information by allowing them to filter colleges and universities by five main criteria: location, type of college, college size, admission requirements, and cost.
