​​Financial Aid 101-What Jrs, Soph, and Fr should do now!

College will be here sooner than you think. Learn the basics of financial aid – what counts, what doesn’t count, when it counts – and what you can do about it to get more aid. We’ll discuss the terms, rules, and strategies. We’ll also review how to tell how generous a college is with aid. And how an effective search with the right questions can help you get more aid later. This workshop will include things that are not included in the high school session.

Dates - All sessions start at 630p
