On Thursday, November 5 at 7pm, Jim Femia, a Certified College Planning Specialist (CCPS) and member of the National Institute of Certified College Planners (NICCP), will present a program that covers how families of all income levels are receiving financial aid, and why some families incorrectly assume they could never qualify for aid. He'll talk about which colleges give the best financial aid packages, how to avoid costly mistakes on the FAFSA and CSS Profile, and how some parents are sending their student to a private university for less than a state school. He will also discuss how students can position themselves to be the best candidate and receive more free money and less loans. Both students and parents are encouraged to attend.
