Coming just in time for college financial aid applications and acceptances, the webinar will offer parents, students, and counselors information on cost-saving options that could save families thousands of dollars.
The webinar will be hosted by Jean O’Toole of Connections 101. Ms. O’Toole is a nationally recognized outside scholarship expert. Over 150,000 students have attended and won thousands of dollars thanks to Ms. O’Toole’s programs. She is also the author of an upcoming book “Scholarship Strategies – Finding and Winning the Money You Need,” which will be released in Fall 2016.
“Net college costs for students – after financial aid – are between $80,000 and $120,000, and the average student now graduates with over $35,000 in debt,” says Venkates Swaminathan, founder and CEO of LifeLaunchr. “This webinar can help families cut the cost of college dramatically.”
“We hope this webinar will encourage parents and students to take a proactive role to their financial aid process, “ said Ms. O’Toole. “All students, regardless of their income level, ethnicity, or career goals, should be maximizing the opportunities that are available to lower college costs.”
“We’re excited to offer this free webinar to millions of TeenLife users,” said Marie Schwartz, CEO of TeenLife. “Cost is the issue that causes the greatest anxiety for parents of students headed to college, and finding a way to get help can ease the path for both parents and students.”
