Pay For College Night

Central will be hosting a "Paying for College" night on Tuesday, December 16th.  This night is open to ALL parents.  Paying and planning for college should start the moment your child is born, and if you are like me you have not done this!  On this night we will have experts that will share simple ways you can prepare for paying for college, no matter if you have a senior or a new born.

1.  6:00-6:30 pm 529 plan info via skype session with Heather Doe from the Iowa College Student Aid Commission - all families need info on saving for college, the ease of setting this up, the best people to hold the 529 so it does not count against financial aid for a student, and how it can be used....she will cover all bases.

2. 6:30-7:00 College classes in high school - 6-11 grade families.   Both NICC and UIU will be present to talk about offerings and readiness.  Mrs. Metcalf will address philosophy that we are not a college but these are offerings that extend what is taught at Central when students are ready, counseling available to understand readiness, how a four year plan helps.

3.  7:00-7:30 Scholarship Searching - Mrs. Metcalf & college reps - tips on how to begin, what you need where to look...for seniors and any interested junior parents.

 4.  6:00-7:15 Applying for the FAFSA- ICAN rep will present this session for seniors and any interested junior parents.
