DESCRIPTION
A college degree can help graduates broaden career opportunities and gain financial independence. However, the price tag of a college education can seem insurmountable and schools bombard prospective students and their parents with complex terminology and stacks of paperwork. This workshop will present basics of the available options for paying for college, so you can help your clients approach financial decision-making with knowledge and confidence.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Providers working in Alameda County who serve families with young children 0-5 years of age who are thinking about college either for themselves or for their children.
