October 14, 2026 - Educational Parent Workshop: Little-Known Secrets of Paying for College
6:30 PM Virtual
We are excited to announce that South Brunswick has partnered up with The College Funding Coach!
The College Funding Coach was founded in 2002 to help families understand the complexities of paying for college and make higher education more affordable. Through this effort, they realized that most families want to help pay for their children’s education, but they often lack the liquidity and the cash flow to do so. The College Funding Coach has established an approach that helps parents understand the college funding process, reduce out-of-pocket expenses, and simultaneously
balance the challenge of saving for college and retirement.
Whether you are a parent of a high schooler and you are looking for help understanding the changes to the FAFSA process, or you are a parent of a younger student and want to learn the most efficient ways to save for college, this event is for you!

November 18, 2026 - Guiding Principles in College Admissions by Princeton Review
6:30PM Virtual, registration required
College admissions advice is everywhere. Some of it is good, but much of it is outdated, conflicting, or just plain bad. There will also be a million different decisions to make, and students and parents often drive each other bonkers trying to get them all right. In this session, we'll cut through the noise and focus on guiding principles that can be applied to all the challenges and choices along the journey to college. Whether you're a student navigating
the application process or a parent trying to support without pulling all your hair out, this session will help you make decisions based on what matters most in today's admissions process, not based on what Aunt Judy, Claude, or some guy on social media says.
