Planning for Your Child's Educational Expenses

Choosing a college to attend is just half the battle. Understanding how financial aid awards are determined can be just as daunting. This webinar is designed to assist families who have a student planning to attend college within a year or two. In this webinar, we will:

- breakdown the financial aid process to reduce anxiety and confusion,
- discuss the various sources of financial aid available and how students can access them,
- and address the major components of the dreaded Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Participants will learn that although paying for the costs of a student's college education may initially seem complex, but with a little planning, it should not be feared.
