Planning For College


Below you will find an announcement from the office of Federal Student Aid at the US Department of Education.

We have two new student grants to help pay for college, and we are offering a "webinar" to teach school counselors about them. Since most homeschoolers don't have school counselors, we wanted to open this online training to parents (and students) so you can learn about the programs.
