FINANCIAL AID NIGHT (Virtual)
Upcoming Date: October 1st, 2025

On Wednesday, September 24th, the WWS and WN Counseling Departments will host a Financial Aid Night to all of our parents. More information and link to come!

We realize the importance of early planning and information gathering in a somewhat difficult process. As the cost of college continues to rise, we have seen a greater need to present this information to parents as early as possible in order to plan accordingly.

Frank Palmasani, author of “Right College, Right Price” will discuss how you can maximize your opportunities for scholarships and grants – thus reduce your college sticker price. He will also share his unique method of finding “financial fits,” affordable college options.

Frank Palmasani has been a staunch advocate of paying for college without excessive debt for over 35 years. He has spoken to thousands of parents at seminars during that time, presented at counselor conferences, and been interviewed by radio and TV outlets across the country. His enthusiastic style will keep you interested in this important topic.
