Compare Awards, Close Gaps, Decide with Confidence
Join us for an in-person workshop designed to help students and families make sense of financial aid award letters and take the next step with clarity.
This interactive session is focused on decision-making, not theory. Families are encouraged to bring their student’s financial aid offers so we can walk through them together and compare real options side by side.
During the workshop, you’ll learn how to:
- Read and compare financial aid offers from different colleges
- Understand the true cost of attendance beyond the headline numbers
- Identify gaps between aid and cost — and explore strategies to close them
- Plan next steps when an “affordable” option feels out of reach
Bonus: The first 5 families to arrive will receive a $25 Visa gift card.
