Asking “How do I pay for college?” is like asking, “How do I lose weight?” or, “How do I learn French?” There are lots of answers, but there’s not always one clear path!  College prices have increased at twice the rate of inflation year after year. Most middle-income families can’t afford to fully pay for college. Parent and student loan debt is at an all-time high. The average student takes 5.8 years to earn their 4-year degree. What to do? 

Woodbridge residents at  Fox Hill Run,  Forest View, Evergreen East, Evergreen Forest and Cloverleaf Gardens will benefit considerably by attending the Woodbridge Public Library’s virtual seminar entitled “Paying for College Without Going Broke” on January 27 @7pm. The free seminar will explore the complex world of need-based and merit based financial aid and parents and students will learn strategies and tips for optimizing college admissions and scholarships.
