Of all the investments we make in our lifetime, our education is perhaps the most important. While many assets come and go, our education is something we can carry with us all the days of our lives. And when it’s time to pursue a higher education, while the cost of many colleges can be quite high, the outcomes earned provide students with a priceless path forward as they embark on their career. When families have a game plan in place, tackling financial aid and college costs can be a simple, straightforward, and even rewarding process. If you or a loved one are preparing to take the next steps on your education journey, the New Jersey State Library is here to provide you with the toolkit you need in their free upcoming webinar.

On Wednesday, November 20th, the New Jersey State Library (NJSL) invites you to tune into their upcoming Financial Aid Information Session. This one-stop shop for college finance information is a wonderful opportunity for prospective students, current students, and families to gain a greater understanding of the countless financial aid and scholarships available to today’s students. The webinar will take place at 12pm on Zoom, and guests do not need to be physically present at the New Jersey State Library in order to participate. Advanced registration is required, so if you do plan on tuning in, please be sure to sign up by completing the following sign-up form: Zoom – Register.

Your host for the afternoon will be Taira Holley-Mayfield, Financial Aid Workshop Facilitator, from The Higher Education Student Assistance Authority. Throughout the afternoon, Ms. Holley-Mayfield will be on hand to clear up much of the confusion surrounding today’s financial aid process. This webinar will provide useful details on all of the Federal and State grants, scholarships and loan programs available through the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), as well as the key requirements needed to apply. From scholarship opportunities to student loans and more, guests should walk away from this conversation feeling equipped to forge ahead with financing your educating in the best way for your family.
