(Delaware and Chester Counties, PA)—Financing a college education may seem daunting and overwhelming, but Delaware County Community College is here to help students and their families with the process. Learn more at the College’s Paying for College Information Night on Tuesday, March 11, 2014, at 6 p.m.  The event will be held in the Academic Building on the Marple Campus (901 South Media Line Road, Media, PA). 

College-bound students and their families are invited to attend to learn about available financial aid options and the guidelines for filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Financial Aid and Admissions representatives from the College will be on hand to answer questions and offer guidance on the process. 

Participants will also learn about important timelines and dates, the importance of the FAFSA, mistakes to avoid and tips for making the financial aid filing process easier. Scholarships, loans and grants will be discussed as well. The session is great for those new to the process or for those who need a refresher. 

Delaware County Community College is committed to providing access to affordable education and offers many opportunities to students who need financial aid, including federal and state grants, student loans, scholarships, payment plans and work-study programs.
