College Financial Aid Day coming to Mall
MILLIGAN COLLEGE, TN
(November 30, 2004) — Finances are often cited as the leading concern as
college-bound students and their parents consider options for higher
education. On Tuesday, December 14, from noon until 8 p.m., at The
Mall at Johnson City, area residents will have the opportunity to speak
with financial aid planning experts. Hosted by Milligan College, this
event is free and open to all students and parents with questions about
the college financial aid process.
“We know that many families simply don’t know how to get started,” said
Chris Rolph, associate vice president for business and finance. “They
are often surprised to learn about the variety of merit and need-based
resources. The key is having a plan. Our staff is excited about
providing this community service for students and parents and the
opportunity to help them establish a well-informed plan to secure all
the financial aid for which they are eligible.”
Financial aid counselors will answer questions related to the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the primary form used to
determine a student’s need; merit-based scholarships from college and
other organizations (including the new Tennessee Educational Lottery
Scholarship); need-based aid from federal, state and college resources;
federal educational loan programs; campus work study; how to communicate
special circumstances to college financial aid offices; and more.
“We encourage families to bring a list of questions, their FAFSA’s and
other information that will help the financial aid planning
representatives in providing helpful advice,” said Rolph.
The
College Financial Aid Day is not college-specific. Students who plan to attend a two or four-year public or private college
will benefit from the general information available.
“There are countless students attending the college of their choice
today because they investigated all forms of available financial
assistance. We are committed to helping families in the Tri-Cities
realize their educational goals. The College Financial Aid Day will be
a good start for families, whether their child will be attending college
next fall or several years down the road,” said David Mee, vice
president for enrollment management at Milligan College.
The financial aid day will be held on the lower level of The Mall near
the food court. For additional information, contact Milligan College
student financial services at 423.461.8949.
