What to Expect

At StudyPoint we believe that college tuition has gotten completely out of hand, and one of our goals is to help families create college options that are a great fit for the student and a smart investment for the parents. In this session, our experts on financial aid will pull back the curtain on how all of this works. They’ll share data on the true cost of college, offer ideas and insights on navigating financial aid options, give tips for maximizing merit aid awards, and help you make savvy decisions that can lower your overall tuition bill.

 
Together, our panelists have decades of experience in the college financing and admissions space, and have helped guide hundreds of students through the process of applying and paying for college. This group knows financial aid inside and out, and they’re eager to offer their valuable perspectives to help parents and students navigate an often overwhelming process.

Join us to get answers to questions like:

01

How and when should you tackle financial aid forms and applications?

02

How can you maximize your child's merit-based aid through scholarships and other sources?

03

What financial factors should you consider in finding the best college fit?

Not only has she advised parents and families of high school students, she’s also been a trusted resource for high school counselors and independent college counselors alike.
