education (or 2 or 3) will undoubtedly be one of the largest financial
investments of a family’s lifetime. Colleges and high schools
suggest that the process is fairly easy. The college financial aid
forms and the need-based formula can be as complicated and
difficult as the current tax code. Parents of college bound high
school students need to be aware that timing is essential January 1
of the JUNIOR year is key! This comprehensive session will walk
you through the entire process of financial aid for both public and
private institutions. Parents of sophomores need to plan and prepare;
parents of juniors need to plan, prepare and act; and parents of
seniors are a year behind so action is necessary immediately! Learn
how to pick colleges that give the most FREE money with fewer
loans! (Choose one night.)
