Financing College for Students in Crisis: A Case for Provisional Independence

Time: Thur, November 14, 2013 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Location: 122 Cannon House Office Building
RSVP


Featured Speaker – Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD)

Each year, millions of students apply for assistance from the federal government to help finance their college educations. Included among these students are those who face severe crises within their homes. Ranging from abandonment to abuse, these students face severe parental conflict that often renders them unable to rely on their families for support – financial or otherwise – as they pursue their educational aspirations. As a result, they are forced to become “independent,” in fact, even if not under law.

Come hear a fascinating conversation surrounding this rarely discussed problem. Panelists will include college students and financial aid administrators.

Refreshments will be served.

Space is limited. Please RSVP directly to Selene Ceja at selene.ceja@coenet.us.  


Thank you.
