A special two-hour program to assist students and parents in looking for ways to pay for a college education aired January 31 on all ETV channels. Many high schools taped this program to have it on hand in the guidance office. The repeat broadcasts are NOT interactive with call-in questions, but the information is still useful to students and parents trying to find money for higher education.
Produced by the State Department of Education’s ITV team , Finding Money for College features financial aid professionals from public and private colleges and universities in South Carolina. In addition, guidance counselors offer advice and representatives from the South Carolina Higher Education Tuition Grants, South Carolina Student Loan Corporation and South Carolina Commission on Higher Education answer questions on accessing scholarships, grants and loans.
In addition to providing key information, this year’s program features a special segment on high school guidance services to help students find financial help for college that was taped at Walhalla High School in Oconee School District. Also, these students give their peers advice about what can help them in the process. Congratulations to the Walhalla Razorbacks for being selected as our feature school this year on Finding Money for College!
This information is very timely and especially needed for seniors, but valuable for juniors to plan ahead. Please tape this NEW program for your high school guidance counselors if you did not tape it in January.
