Choose The Right College, Get More Financial Aid
When San Diego resident Sarah Lambeth was choosing a college four years ago, East Coast schools were on the top of her list.
After narrowing her choices to colleges that best suited her academic credentials and goals, she ended up picking the University of Southern California, which granted the largest financial aid package.
If your child can match their academic record with the right college, they may be able to obtain grants that don’t have to be repaid and are sometimes awarded regardless of financial need.

Financial aid seminars will be offered by Williams College, Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts and Berkshire Community College. High school students and parents are encouraged to attend to learn more about financing a college education.
