Figuring out how to pay for college can be very stressful for future college students and their parents. Financial aid can be a big help, but where do you start?
The next Destination College workshop will make the process a little clearer with “How to Apply for Financial Aid,” from 6:30-8 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 11 at the Collin College’s Preston Ridge Campus Conference Center, 9700 Wade Blvd. in Frisco.
Designed to sort the facts from the myths about financial aid, the workshop will introduce students and parents to the different types of aid, the application process and more. The workshop is free and open to the public, but registration is required. To register, visit www.collin.edu/destinationcollege . For more information, call 972.377.1772.
