"The Money Talk" Let's talk about the process of securing financial aid and the best ways to find scholarship money. This workshop primarily focuses on the FAFSA process and explains the reasons for ALL students to file and answers specific questions about new regulations for student loans/grant money. Mrs. Jones will review specific scenarios about family dynamics and tax records needed for the filing night.
