This 90-minute WORKSHOP IS DESIGNED TO EDUCATE FAMILIES ABOUT THE BEST
PRACTICES AND KEY DEADLINES OF THE COLLEGE PLANNING PROCESS BY
COVERING THE FOLLOWING TOPICS AND QUESTIONS: Step I: Admissions
What do COLLEGES LOOK FOR? How do you enhance your child's
positioning? How do you create a good school list, and why is this
one of the most important aspects of the COLLEGE PLANNING PROCESS?
What goes into writing a great essay and submitting a strong
application? Step II: Paying for COLLEGE What are your options
(e.g. savings, loans, or scholarships), and how do you minimize your
potential out-of-pocket costs? How is your Estimated Family
Contribution (EFC) determined on FAFSA? What other forms need to be
completed? How does the financial aid process really work? How do
you evaluate your financial aid award packages, and can you appeal
them to try to get more money from the schools? Step III: CAREER
PLANNING How will your child make a smooth transition from high
school to prepare for academic SUCCESS IN COLLEGE? Which strategies
will help your child build a solid resume and land a good
internship? What skills and experience does your child need to
secure a job when they graduate? This WORKSHOP WILL BE LED BY JONATHAN
DELA CRUZ, who has 20 years of higher education experience. He’s
held university positions in admissions, student loans, and
recruitment at the University of Chicago, Seton Hall, and Elmhurst
COLLEGE. In addition Jonathan has extensive finance experience at
Sallie Mae and Chase Education Finance Group. What Families Are
Saying About PFA’s WORKSHOP… “Heard some topics and insights
that I have not heard from other COLLEGE PREPARATION WORKSHOPS.”
“Great presentation. Useful for ‘first-timers.’ Mr. Dela
Cruz was knowledgeable and provided excellent resources for both
parents and students.” “Excellent! Informative and realistic.
Helped explain aspects of the COLLEGE PROCESS THAT I WAS UNAWARE
OF.” “Mr. Krebs did a great job! He was very personable. His
knowledge of the entire process is impressive!” “Very informative.
I especially like the information about GPA correlation and
scholarships / financial aid.” “I really enjoyed all of the
information about your S.A.F.E. schools and I now am considering
making a list of mine. I also enjoyed all of the merit and
scholarship information.” “I like how you explained everything in
a way that was easy to understand. The S.A.F.E. acronym that you
used to choose COLLEGES WAS ALSO VERY HELPFUL. I now know what to
research and what questions I should ask the COLLEGE REPS AT THE
COLLEGE FAIRS.” “It was a very eye opening experience!” “The
WORKSHOP REALLY HELPED ME TO FURTHER UNDERSTAND COLLEGE ACCEPTANCE
PROCEDURES AND WHAT I NEED TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN APPLYING.” More
