Finance
Monday, September 18th 6:30pm
With college costs skyrocketing, find out how to
get your share of $134+ billion available for student financial aid. Learn
insider tips to maximize your financial aid from Long Island’s leading
financial aid experts with over 35 years of experience. Follow our step-by-step
strategies to fill out your FAFSA, plan a needs analysis, and negotiate with
the college. We explain how the federal government calculates your
“expected family contribution” and how the value of your family home and other property
is counted. We show how separation, divorce and remarriage affect your aid, who
qualifies as an independent student, and how to conduct the best FREE Internet scholarship searches. We describe
the CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE® application, New York State’s unique financial
aid program-TAP, and federal grant and loan programs. This is an excellent
time for parents of seniors as well as juniors to begin planning. We welcome
questions at the conclusion of the program. No registration required.
