At the event next Thursday, the top
ics being covered are:
• . How Going to College Can
Change your Life
•
Choosing the Right College
•
Understanding the
Financial Aid Process
•
Scholarship Searches and
Scams
Ariane Rakich, Heather Arbuckle
and M at. Genuser from ÇÇC’s
advising department will cover
these subjects. Jennifer Satalino,
who hails from the Oregon College
Access Network (OrCAN), will be
part of covering the topics as well.
OrCAN’s aim is to increase partici
pation in post-secondary education
and help Oregonians overcome bar
riers to attending college.
Although College Night is geared
primarily towards high school
juniors and seniors, Darcie Iven,
ÇCC’s scholarship coordinator and
financial aid advisor believes that
the seminar is still important to col
lege students.
“There will be useful informa
tion for anyone who attends,” Iven
said. “College freshmen will still
find if informative.”
An additional incentive to attend
is a scholarship drawing that will
take place at the end of the eve
ning. Four attending students will
be awarded a $500 scholarship that
can be used at any accredited uni
versity-in the country. .
Elissa Johnson, a current CCC
student who attended College Night
last year as a senior in high school,
was one o f the scholarship recipi
ents,
“My FAF’SA didn’t come until
¿the third week of school,” said
Johnson. “Because this happened,
I had to pay out of pocket so this
scholarship helped a lot.” -
Scholarship aside, she said that
she would “gladly recommend
[College Night] because it was very
informative.,, [and] helped a Ipt
with the FASFA application.”
