5 Things to Know About Financial Aid

Join the members of the NW5 college consortium for a virtual session on navigating the essentials of the financial aid process. Whether you are a student or a family member, this webinar will provide clarity on what you need to know, including:

• Decoding the language: Understanding key terms used when colleges and universities talk about financial aid.
• The FAFSA & CSS Profiles: A breakdown of how to approach these key applications.
• Scholarships: Strategic advice on what to consider when applying.
• Understanding Offers: Expert guidance on how to evaluate financial aid offers from the schools to which you have been admitted.

We know the cost of college can feel daunting, but we encourage families not to be deterred by the sticker price of private colleges. They are rarely as expensive as they look, and the NW5 schools are committed to helping students access the significant financial aid available at our institutions.

This event will feature a special guest from the University of Puget Sound’s financial aid team, who will join our panel to share professional expertise on navigating need-based financial aid.
