  Understanding College Financing Options

April is a critical time for 12th grade families as students  contemplate their college choices and decide which school to attend. Need-based and merit-based financial aid packages are often considered as these important decisions are made. To learn more about college financial aid and options for financing a college education, please see these helpful webinars , including "College Financing" and "Paying the College Bill", from the Massachusetts Educational Financing Authority (MEFA).
