Treasury Program Go-To Resource for
Learning How to Pay for College
LANSING, Mich. –
Michigan families and students looking for help paying for college should save
the date for one of MI Student Aid’s financial aid traveling one-stop shops this
spring, according to the Michigan Department of Treasury (Treasury).
Under the banner “MI College, MI Future, MI
Doorstep,” Treasury’s MI Student Aid Team is visiting communities across the state
to educate and inform students and their families about options for paying for
college. At each location, team members will provide assistance with
scholarship searches, college financing strategies and state program
eligibility, as well as staff a resource table with financial aid materials.
These programs are
FREE and open to the public.
“Trying to figure out
how to pay for college can be overwhelming,” said Anne Wohlfert, director of
Treasury’s Student Financial Services Bureau. “Many college-bound students and
their families don’t know where to begin. As the state’s go-to resource for
college financial aid information, we will have staff available at these events
to answer questions and provide guidance about paying for college.”
From March 13-29, the MI
Student Aid Team will be at:
