Upcoming College Planning Seminars

You are welcome to attend one of our free college planning seminars offered by Campus Pathway. The instructor is Jeffrey Morrison, a member of the National Institute of Certified College Planners (NICCP), the Higher Education Consultants Association (HECA), and the National College Advocacy Group (NCAG).

Seminars are starting for 2012

Families with high school juniors (11th grade) - the time is running short now. The summer will come and go quickly, and it is unwise to enter the senior year with college selection, scholarship pursuit, essays and applications remaining to be completed. The senior year school work will dominate.

Families with freshmen, spphomores, and juniors should attend one of our seminars. You will get key information to help you with the college preparation challenges.

FOR LATE FALL SEMINARS: We are at the time of year when families with seniors are coming in for last-minute help on college selection and financial strategies. Please do not hesitate - come engage with us. Time is critical and can become a problem without action now.

If you are a family of of a junior or sophomore, this is the time to get started with the college process, for many reasons. Come to a seminar or arrange an appointment in our office for an hour that has no cost. You can decide if it is a good match for you with the right value proposition.
