Winter 2006

College Preparation

Winter 2006
“Paving the Path to College” aimed to provide advice to middle-school children and their parents, on how to prepare for higher education both academically and financially.

Winter 2006
The “Cash for College” workshop also addressed financial concerns for students seeking higher education. Many students don’t realize that they qualify for Financial Aid programs such as Cal Grants, which can ease the burden of college costs on both students and parents. We offered two $500 scholarships to students who attended the event.
