Making the Connection
Creative Programs and Services for the Business Community

At the Organizations we believe in the importance of educational achievement in relation to personal, career and life goals. As part of our commitment to students and families in our community, we sponsor the Center for College Planning, New Hampshire's source for information about the college admissions and financial aid process. The Center provides many free services and materials to high schools, colleges and community organizations in the State.

Our Corporate Outreach & Employee Workshops are designed to provide your employees with information, helpful tools and expert advice about the college process. The workshops are for employees who are planning for their children's education or considering a return to school themselves. The workshops are free and do not promote or sell any products or services and can be scheduled during work hours for brown bag lunches, in the evenings or on Saturdays. If it is more convenient for you and your employees, we also offer free workshops in our College Planning Library in Concord, New Hampshire. To arrange a workshop for your employees, or for additional questions, please contact us toll-free at 1-800-525-2577 x119 or use the registration form below.

Early College Planning
Higher education is critically important, especially in today's complex world. During this presentation, we will provide parents of younger students (K-8) with the tools to encourage and support their children's educational aspirations. We will address questions parents may have about paying for college and will provide the facts about financial aid and saving for college. Attendees will receive our Early College Planning Guide.

College Overview
During this presentation for parents of high school students, we provide information about the college admissions and financial aid process. Information to be covered includes: What qualifications are colleges looking for? What questions should be asked on a college tour? How do we apply for financial aid? Attendees will receive our college planning guide, The College Insider and The Essential Pocket Guide to Scholarships.

College Cost & Funding Strategies
While financial aid can make college more affordable, parents and students are expected to take primary responsibility for paying for post-secondary education. In this session, we will address options for managing college costs, applying for financial aid, and discuss college funding options. Attendees will receive the Financial Aid Organizer and The Essential Pocket Guide to Scholarships.
