Utah Organization Helps Students Learn to Pay for College
UHEAA fall tour gives free information, assistance to students everywhere in the state
SALT LAKE CITY – Even though Halloween is right around the corner, there are some folks who seem more afraid of paying for college during this time of year. Fear not! Experts from the Utah Higher Education Assistance Authority (UHEAA) are ready to rescue by sponsoring Financial Aid Nights in a statewide tour providing students and their families all the information they need about college financial aid, scholarships, filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and important college prep deadlines. These Financial Aid Nights kicked off on August 30 at San Juan High School and will continue in all areas of Utah throughout the fall until mid-November.
“It’s never too soon to start thinking about going to, and finishing, college and our financial aid representatives are ready to ease concerns and answer questions for students and their parents,” said UHEAA Executive Director David Feitz. “This statewide tour is provided for Utahns all the way from Cache to Washington Counties, and everywhere in between, so they are armed with the right tools to successfully prepare and pay for college.” In addition to opportunities to talk about financial aid, representatives from the state’s colleges and universities will also be on hand for information and one-on-one discussions.
