Start Preparing for College Today

Michael Skiff, CFP, instructor

Although college is attainable for nearly everyone, there’s just one catch: you must start early. If your student is a freshman, sophomore, or junior, actions taken now will put them in the best position to receive college admission with generous scholarships and grants.This seminar breaks down the sometimes overwhelming process of applying for college admission and funding. You’ll learn about common mistakes and pitfalls to avoid, deadlines you must observe, and ways to boost the odds in your favor. We recommend that both parents (unless single parent) attend with the student.  Fee is per family.
