GET READY FOR COLLEGE - PARENTS AND STUDENTS

On Wednesday, September 12, registration will begin for a two part program, "Road Map to College". The first part of this seminar will explore which tests are best for the students' needs and what is the best time to take the tests. The best preparation strategies will be discussed. This part will be held on Wednesday, September 26th at 7 PM. The second part will focus on choosing the schools, completing the application and writing the essay. This will be held on Wednesday, October 3rd at 7 PM. Each session runs for 90 minutes and there will be ample time allotted for questions and answers. This program is intended for students and a parent or guardian. Registration covers both parts.

Once the student is ready for the tests and has the applications ready the question of how to pay the tuition bill arises. For over a decade Barry Fox, college financial aid expert, has come to the Garden City Public Library to give tips on how to obtain maximum college financial aid. Get the most up to date information on student aid sources, how to complete the current financial aid forms, how to negotiate with financial aid officers, how to maximize special family circumstances and the best free websites for scholarship search.
