Calendar Event

There are many ways to finance your college experience, not limited to scholarships, federal and state financial aid, grants, work-study experiences, and college specific awards. Just like choosing a major, doing your research early eliminates stress of the unknown and provides knowledge to make an informed decision.

Ithaca College is hosting a virtual discussion about scholarships and financial aid available at that institution—including how to apply, types of aid, forms, expected family contribution, and special circumstances. During this Zoom session, you’ll also have the opportunity to participate in a live Q&A with a Student Financial Services representative.

9th and 10th Graders - Start learning the language and opportunities available to finance your college experience (at any institution).

11th Graders - Learn the timeline, process, and what questions you should be asking all of your colleges of interest.
