If you have a student headed to college in the fall, you’ll need to start putting together a plan to pay the college bill. We’ve created a presentation below that walks through all of your options, as well as explaining your financial aid, the college waitlist, and the timeline of the next few months.
College is a life-changing event – for students and parents alike – and so much about it has changed since today’s parents were college students themselves. This presentation was designed to help parents of college-bound students understand the ever-changing college landscape and help them navigate it with confidence.

Preparing for college with middle schoolersLisa Allard
If you have a student in middle school, now is a great time to think ahead toward college. We’ve put together a roadmap to direct your steps and give you the information and tools you need to stay on track.
Learn about:
Early FAFSA timeline
Types of financial aid
Financial aid process and formulas
Tracking your students’ FAFSA completions
EducationQuest updates
MEFA's presentation outlines the things families need to know about paying their college bill. Learn about financial aid (and types), and how to select a college loan.
We’ve put together a brief presentation to explain the language you’ll encounter when borrowing a college loan, how to differentiate between lenders, and ways to make sure you borrow wisely.
It’s important to understand the differences among all of your college loan options. This presentation provides guidance on comparing interest rates, calculating total loan cost, and what to read in the fine print.
If you’re beginning repayment on a student loan soon (or know someone who is), it’s important to understand the process and to stay on track. Keeping up to date with student loan payments is necessary to build a solid credit history and maintain strong financial health.

Earlier Financial Aid Decisions: Preparing for Prior-PriorTravis Fox
A policy change with FAFSA now allows students and families to use tax data from prior-prior tax year to complete the FAFSA and the application will become available each year on October 1. Students and families could be presented with complete admissions and financial aid decisions earlier in the admission cycle, which could alter the traditional timeline for college applications. Attendees at this session will learn more about the change and the implications for school counselors and college admissions counselors. Panelists will explore ways in which college/universities, secondary schools and families will need to prepare for the effects of this policy change.
If you have a high school senior starting to receive college acceptances, congrats! The admissions process is a long road, and your family is nearing the end of it. But one of the most important steps – figuring out how to pay the college bill – still needs to be completed.
If you have a child going to college next year, chances are you’ll be applying for financial aid. The FAFSA, which is the main application for college financial aid, becomes available on October 1st this year, giving you the opportunity to submit the form much earlier than in previous years. Most colleges have financial aid due dates set in February or March, so you have plenty of time to apply. But make sure to check the deadline at every school your student may attend next year – you can find that on each college or university’s financial aid website. It is crucial for you to apply for financial aid on time.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
