‘Financing College’ Presentation

Newtown High School’s School counseling office is sponsoring an evening presentation, “Financing College,” Wednesday, October 5, at 7 pm, in the school’s Lecture Hall. 

The program will be conducted by Charles Wareham, financial advisor, LPL Financial in Hartford.  According to the school counseling office, the presentation will offer information that will benefit families with students planning to attend college, and it is not a sales presentation.

Attendees will learn how the financial aid system works and recent updates to the financial aid system, the primary sources of college funds, what to expect in education loans, common pitfalls to watch out for, creative strategies for funding college costs, how the federal and state budget crisis will affect student aid, and about the current market outlook and where to invest for college.
