Assemblymember Paul Krekorian to Host "Cash for College"
Financial Aid Workshop for Students and Parents
GLENDALE, CA- Assemblymember Paul Krekorian (D-Burbank) will host a
"Cash for College" workshop to assist high school seniors and college
students in securing financial aid for their education. The workshop
will be held on Thursday, February 22, in anticipation of upcoming
statewide financial aid deadlines.
"A college education should be accessible to every California student
who qualifies, regardless of their financial status," Assemblymember
Krekorian said. "Through this workshop, I want to ensure that all
deserving students get the financial aid they need to continue their
education, so that no one is denied a college education merely because
of lack of funds."
The Cash for College workshop will provide parents and students with
information about financial aid options for colleges and universities.
The first part of the workshop will cover different types of financial
aid options, such as grants, loans and scholarships. The second portion
will feature a step-by-step demonstration of how to complete the FAFSA
form, which is a necessary step in qualifying for most state and federal
grant and loan programs. The FAFSA form is due on March 2 for the
2007-2008 academic year.
The workshop will feature expert advisors from Glendale Community
College’s Financial Aid Office. Armenian and Spanish speaking advisors
will also be available to assist.
Who: All students and their families are welcome!
