CollegeWeekLive (TM), the world’s leading provider of live online college admissions events, today announced the agenda for the 4th annual CollegeWeekLive PAYING FOR COLLEGE virtual event which will meet Thursday January 10th between 2:00 and 10:00 PM Eastern. The free online video event tackles the question of how to finance college in today’s economy.
“Increasingly, families with high school seniors are considering not only where their teen will attend college but how they will pay for it,” said Robert Rosenbloom, CEO and President of CollegeWeekLive. “With four year college costs now totaling $200,000.00 or more, parents and students must carefully consider their college financing options. This virtual event covers every aspect of paying for a college education, from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to finalizing merit and need-based aid.”
Parents of college-bound high school seniors are urged to login to watch the 6:00 PM presentation by the U.S. Department of Education which will review the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). This form is required for any student seeking federal and state financial aid, including grants and loans at all colleges in the United States. Additional presentation topics at the January 10th event include:
All Times Eastern Standard Time (EST)
