WHAT: First Financial Federal Credit Union (www.firstffcu.com) is offering a no-cost seminar, presented by student loans expert Ken O’Connor, of CUStudentLoans.org. Attendees can expect to walk away from it with great knowledge on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), financial aid in itself, scholarship offers, school selection, and student loans.
“There is a new FAFSA that has just been released on January 1st. I’ll cover how to file and complete it,” O’Connor said. “And, with different options between financial aid, scholarship offers, school selection, and student loans, I’ll educate attendees on all of them to help students make the best choice for their needs.”
Plus, attendees will learn how to compare financial aid and scholarship offers.
“I understand that all of this can be tricky — I’ve been there before! It doesn’t have to be complicated,” O’Connor said. “I hope this seminar will help make this time in a student’s life easier.”
