Applying to College in a Financially Strategic Way
The cost of college has continued to outpace the cost of living increases on all counts. Finding the right college that best meets your needs and is likely to accept you is a challenge. It's even more challenging to find a good “financial fit.” This interactive workshop will review the different types of financial aid available and will discuss some of the ways families can demystify the process by understanding how to find a good financial fit.
We will walk through several case studies of actual students who addressed their college search in a financially strategic way. We will also identify opportunities for students in this market who do not have any financial constraints.
