Tuesday, November 10
7pm
Mt. Olympus
Randy Stoltz, of Campus Advisors, will speak to parents on
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10th at 7pm at Arcadia High School in Mt. Olympus. In order for families to understand the total college cost, it's important to know the facts of what funding opportunities exist and those that have changed. This FREE "College Costs 9-1-1: Get Real or Go Broke" is vitally important as college costs have risen dramatically and life's necessities dig into college savings (if any).
Discussions and Answers to questions such as:
- How much will college REALLY cost?
- What loans are available and how do we avoid taking out too much?
- The truth about scholarships and "the full ride"
- Can you send your child to a private university for less cost than a state school?
- The value of improving your student's admissions credentials for colleges
- Can you pay for college and still retire?
