Classroom Matters: College Scholarship Workshop for Families

Natvigatiing the Complex Landscape of Scholarships for College (45 min presentation + Q&A)
Before you dive into the many scholarship books, YouTube tutorials, and spam-heavy databases that are out there, attend this introduction to the contemporary landscape of college scholarships. In this presentation, Rebecca Lipmann demystifies the complex network and application processes related to scholarships and prepares you for the tuition ahead. Attendees learn why merit and community-based scholarships are so hard to navigate, how to approach the scholarship search process, and what the realistic timeline looks like if you plan to apply to or will enroll in college this coming fall.
