A $1,000 college scholarship will be awarded to a high school senior who attends the Cash for College financial aid workshop from 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 11 at Sonoma State University in the Cooperage. Reservations are required since only 200 can be accommodated.
Representatives from SSU's financial aid department -- including staff fluent in Spanish--will provide information on different types of financial aid as well as answer questions. Cash for College -- a California Student Aid Commission program--is offering the $1,000 scholarship to the college of the winner's choice.
To be eligible for the scholarship, students must attend the Cash for College workshop, complete an evaluation form, turn in a Free Application for Federal Student Aid and a Cal Grant GPA Verification Form before March 2, and enroll at a college or university of their choice.
