This fall and winter, Bellarmine University’s Office of Financial Aid is offering a workshop to help parents and students plan for the cost of a college education. Financial aid experts will discuss how to apply for grants, scholarships, loans and work-study programs. They will also preview the 2008-2009 FAFSA, which must be filed to receive financial aid. All workshops begin at 7 p.m.
Bellarmine University’s Office of Financial Aid staff will also be among the financial aid experts on hand at College Goal Sunday. The event will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 27, at Louisville Male High School, Jefferson Community and Technical College, and South Oldham High School to help students and their parents complete the FAFSA.
