Complete College Planning Solutions will be holding a free community workshop for parents of college bound high school students on strategies for maximizing your family’s college financial aid and lowering your out-of-pocket costs.   This workshop will be held at 7:30 pm on Wednesday, June 27th, at the Lecture Room, Werner Hall at Caldwell College, 9 Ryerson Ave., Caldwell, NJ, and will reveal what all parents of seniors-, juniors-, and sophomores-to-be need to know as they take on the challenge of applying to, being accepted at and paying for college.
