Led by staff from Front Range Community College, this session will give you all the information you need to feel comfortable with the process of getting and receiving financial aid. You’ll learn about different types of aid, including the FAFSA, CAFSA, grants, and work-study programs – plus how to apply for all of them. There will be time for discussion and questions. Snacks will be provided.

Join Professor Emerita Manette Ansay for tips on building compelling applications through academic enrichments, summer experiences, activities, and more. We’ll also cover creating college lists that are the right academic, social, and financial fit. Manette is an Independent Education Consultant who has taught and advised college students at Cornell, Vanderbilt, Marquette, and the University of Miami. She’s also a New York Times bestselling novelist. A Q&A will follow the presentation, and Manette will stay to answer individual college planning questions. Registration required. Limited to 20 families.

These sessions are designed for high school students and their families, as well as anyone preparing for college. Come with questions, and leave with the knowledge and confidence you need to succeed!
