My College Planning Team will run workshop that will explore recent changes in financial aid that may impact how much parents will pay for college and how they can adjust to these shifts.

To help navigate the complex world of need-based and merit-based financial aid, families will learn actionable strategies to lower college costs and make informed decisions based on each college’s financial aid formulas. The workshop will also review the college search, selection, and admissions process to help find good-fit colleges for students at an affordable price.
