Pre-College Programs Offers Free Financial Aid Workshop for Parents, High School Seniors

A free financial aid workshop hosted by PreCollege Programs on the Sonoma State University campus, will be held from 9-11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 5, in the Cooperage.

"With the rising costs of higher education, parents and potential college students will want to find out what financial aid options are available to help pay for college tuition, books, transportation, and room and board," says Judith Hatfield, a Student Services Specialist with PreCollege Programs.

Sonoma County high school seniors and parents are invited to attend. High school juniors and parents are also welcome.

Sonoma State University PreCollege Programs have provided free services to first-generation college-bound and/or financially eligible Sonoma County students for nearly two decades.

The services include tutoring, academic advising, college planning, supplemental academic classes, supplemental enrichment classes, as well as educational/cultural field trips.

For more information and to RSVP, contact Judith Hatfield at Sonoma State University PreCollege Programs (707) 664-2842 or (707) 664-2428.
