If you are the parent of a high school student who is considering attending college, the College Guidance Network is offering a webinar at 7:30 P.M. on Thursday, February 2, focusing on how parents and students can make sense of college costs.
Some of the topics discussed will be tools and resources to help understand college options, how to see beyond the sticker price of a college to gain a better understanding of the actual cost, and how to be financially realistic but also aspirational in a college search.
To register for the webinar, visit bit.ly/collegecostswebinar.
