UCA hosts workshop on cost of college

The University of Central Arkansas Division of Outreach and Community Engagement will host “Know Before You Go: Financial Pathways to College” on Tuesday, Oct. 25, from 6–7:15 p.m.  

This personal enrichment class is designed to help parents and prospective students learn the real costs of a college education. This class is offered via Zoom or in person at the Brewer-Hegeman Conference Center at no cost. Participants should register at uca.edu/outreach/lifestyle-leisure-classes or by calling (501) 450-3118 to attend via Zoom or in person. Refreshments will be served.

“Knowing what the costs of college will be and how to pay for it is essential to beginning college on a firm foundation. The more you are aware—and the earlier—the better able you will be to prepare. This workshop will provide participants with that information as well as the opportunity to ask financial aid experts questions about the process,” said Amy Baldwin, senior lecturer at UCA and creator of “Know Before You Go.”

Representatives from the UCA offices of Financial Aid and Student Accounts will also be part of the presentation.
