WASHINGTON – In an effort to help many New Jersey families struggling with the rising cost of higher education, Congressman Leonard Lance (NJ-07) will host an education forum with financial aid experts from several New Jersey universities – including Kean University, Raritan Valley Community College and Rutgers University.

Lance’s forum will allow participants to ask questions of participating college financial aid representatives about how the college financial aid process works and what types of aid are available. For example, information will be shared about the various types of federal and private grants, loans and scholarships that are available to students and their families as they plan for college.
“This financial aid forum will be a unique opportunity for parents and students to interact with financial aid directors and officers to better prepare for the expense of higher education,” Congressman Lance said.

Lance’s financial aid event will take place from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., Mon., June 22 at the Raritan Valley Community College (Conference Room B) located at 28 Lamington Road in Branchburg. The event is free and open to the public.

Residents with questions should contact Dave Glass in Lance’s Westfield Office at (908) 518-7733 for more information.
