Workshop Title: Interpreting Financial Aid Offer Letters with uAspire
Workshop Description: Your student has been accepted to college. Now comes the critical next step: determining the best financial fit. Financial aid offer letters vary from one institution to another, making it challenging for students and families to accurately compare costs and make informed decisions.
Join us for this workshop with uAspire to learn practical strategies to decode and compare financial aid offers.
Who should attend? This workshop is for anyone who helps students with interpreting financial aid offer letters, including college advisors, scholarship providers, and staff at community based organizations.
This workshop will be held in person in Kansas City at MCC Longview. Breakfast and a boxed lunch will be served.
The first hour of the workshop (8:30-9:30 am) will also be livestreamed for attendees across Missouri.
