College Day: There is Always a Way to Pay

How will you pay for college? We hope to inspire and share with you resources and knowledge on how to save and prepare for college.

On Friday, October 11, 2013, we will be joining schools in Santa Clara County for the 3rd Annual College Day – a county-wide college-going effort – where students in elementary, middle, and high schools will participate in interactive activities to inspire and support their aspirations for a college education. This year’s theme is “College: There is Always a Way to Pay,” and activities will center on financial literacy and financial aid information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

College Day will also host a new Family and Community Conference on Saturday, October 19, 2013 from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at San José State University.

This free conference will include a “College Fair,” with representatives from numerous colleges.

 

 

 

 

 

Attendees can also participate in multiple workshops on topics such as “College Knowledge” and “How Financial Aid Works.”  Participants will learn how to complete a FAFSA or California Dream Act application.  A “College Success Lab,” with CSU/UC admissions experts will be available all day to assist high school seniors and their families.  Sessions will be presented in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese. To register, visit: http://www.collegeday.org/registration-familyconference. If you have questions about the Family and Community Conference, please email Fernanda Karp at fernanda.karp@sjsu.edu.

CommUniverCity San José is part of the volunteer-led First-Generation College Attainment Coalition. We will engage schools in Central San José neighborhoods for College Day, and will help with the Family and Community Conference. If you are interested in speaking at schools in San José on the importance of going to college, or volunteering for the Family and Community Conference, please email Elizabeth Figueroa at Elizabeth@cucsj.org.

Please share our fliers with your neighborhoods and schools.
