SUMMARY:College Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Four out of five parents send their children to college without knowing how to pay for it. Do you know there are ways to potentially save on your out of pocket costs? If you are the parent of an 8th through 11th grade student\, join Thrivent Representative Melissa Apanel on Sunday April 7th at 5:00 p.m. for a free\npresentation\, “College Planning Strategies” presented by college planning expert and Thrivent representative Chris Grant.  You’ll learn why: \n\napplying to more than one college can improve admissions and financial aid chances\na college with high sticker price can turn out to be less costly out of pocket than a competitive public college\nsimilarly situated families can have widely different FAFSA results that can affect their student’s financial aid.\n\nYou’ll also learn how to access free college planning tools\, resources\, and information to make your family’s college planning efforts as effective as possible.  Taking on $30\,000 in student loan debt (the average debt per borrower at graduation)\, can’t be the best strategy to starting life after college. Learn how having a solid plan for admissions\, focusing on academics\, and understanding the financial\nprocess could provide a much better option.  Please RSVP to melissa.apanel@thrivent.com or call 570-884-4060 by April 3rd.  This event is open to all – please feel free to share with others that may have interest in attending.  It will be held at the office of Melissa Apanel\, Thrivent Financial\, 434 Market St (Iron Front)\, Lewisburg\, PA 17837.  Students are encouraged to attend with their parents.  No products\nwill be sold at this event.

Running totals will be shown throughout the day at the Raise the Region website.\nAt the end of the donation period\, a pro-rated match per gift will be determined and the Community Foundation will send checks to all participating nonprofits with the amount raised\, the pro-rated match\, and any EXTRA money from prizes awarded throughout the day.\n\nCamp Mount Luther has participated in Raise the Region for six years and has garnered about $82\,000 in donations during this event. The camp hopes you will help us to have another successful year!
