Description of Event
At this FREE college planning workshop, you will learn key steps and strategies to send your child to schools that seem completely unaffordable. This fast-paced, 60-minute informative workshop will educate you about all areas of planning and paying for college. During this class, you will learn about several issues about the college planning process and financial aid, including: (1) The key areas to consider when planning for college, whether your student has a lot of time or will be attending college in the next year or so; (2) How you can get need-based scholarships and grants even if your family makes a six-figure income; (3) How to avoid the single biggest mistake parents make when applying for grants and scholarships—a mistake that costs thousands of dollars in lost aid; (4) How to understand the complicated formulas colleges use to determine your family’s financial contribution and how to plan ahead so that your cost is as low as possible; (5) Three questions you MUST ask any school your child plans to attend.... before they even apply; and (6) How 529s and college savings plans can cost you ten times more than what they save you.
The FAFSA is available as of October 1. Don't wait to understand what this means and how it applies to your child's future. Attend this workshop so you can be prepared now.
