Abstract
While most families agree that college is an investment in their student’s future, many are confused and stressed about paying for that education. Join this session to explore what college-bound high school families know and expect about paying for college, and how that compares to the realities experienced by currently enrolled undergraduates. We will investigate how families’ understanding of available funding sources, attitudes and behaviors change as families begin and follow their higher education journey.
