Financial Aid Workshop: Discovering the Best College Fit at the Best Price

Wed, Aug 25, 2021 @ 7:00 pm CDT - 8:00 pm CDT

| Free

Navigating the college admission process can be difficult, however, finding valuable options at a great price is possible.  Frank Palmasani, author of Right College, Right Price and creator of the Financial Fit online program can help make that happen.  His workshop will highlight 30 steps parents and students can take to pursue scholarships and financial aid that will save thousands of dollars and pay for college without accumulating excessive debt.

Frank Palmasani has been dedicated to helping families find affordable college options for more than 30 years.  He started learning about the college financial aid process in 1976, his first year as a high school counselor.  In 1981, he moved to the college level, eventually becoming a director of admissions. He has since returned to the high school arena as a guidance counselor, a job he continues to enjoy today.  Out of these experiences, Palmasani created the Financial Fit program to reverse the trillion-dollar student debt problem—a problem that had no proven solution before now. His ideas have already helped more than 200,000 families keep college affordable, making it possible for students to graduate without excessive debt.  He is a member of NACAC, IACAC, and the College Board.  Palmasani has been featured in the Boston Herald, the Chicago Tribune, Yahoo Finance, WGN-TV, WTTW-TV, CBS’s Monsters and Money in the Morning, and is the author of Right College, Right Price.
