April Tovar, financial aid and scholarships manager, views the workshop as an opportunity to increase the community鈥檚 knowledge of financial aid processes.
鈥淢any students and families are confused by financial aid and may even opt out of choosing a college path because they do not realize there are many different routes to paying for a college education,鈥 said Tovar. 鈥淥ur workshop explores the different choices students have and how financial aid works at all institutions. The more families understand the process, the better educated decisions they can make when trying to determine what fits best for them or their student.鈥
Free parking is available in the Orange 3 lot during the listed event times.
