Did you know that if your Stafford Loans increase with your grade level, you can still apply for external scholarships and study abroad can be covered by financial aid?

All of this and more will be covered in our “Paying for College” presentation specifically designed for continuing students today (Wednesday) at 4 p.m. We encourage you to attend so you can stay up-to-date on all things financial aid. While the process is similar, some things are different year two and beyond.

The presentation will also cover many topics, including scholarships, student employment, FAFSA information, professional judgments and more! Sign up for the webinar here, and here is the Zoom link.

For more information on this presentation or if you have any questions, please reach out to the Office of Financial Aid at finaid@georgefox.edu or call us at 503-554-2302.
