A blue-and-white event flyer advertises a free workshop about college applications and scholarships. The design features a large, bold title, “The Blueprint to Success,” with pale-blue drafting lines and sketch-like architectural details around the edges. Organization and library logos appear across the top, and a dark-blue banner beneath the title reads “Mapping Your Path to College Acceptance & Scholarships.” The flyer lists four workshop topics: college applications, essay brainstorming, scholarship strategies, and library resources. A blue callout notes that guidance will be provided by K–12 and higher education professionals. Event details are arranged along the bottom with calendar, clock, and location icons. A dark-blue footer contains social media handles, email and website addresses, and chapter president names.
