The School Counseling office at Newtown High School is sponsoring an evening presentation called “Financing College” on Wednesday, October 8, starting at 7 pm.

The event will be held in the school’s F-wing cafetorium.

The program will be conducted by Charles Wareham, a financial advisor with Valark Financial Services in Hartford. According to a release from NHS, the presentation will not be a sales presentation, but will offer “high value information that will benefit you.”

Information on how the financial aid system works and recent updates to the financial aid system, the primary sources of college funds, what to expect in education loans, common pitfalls to watch out for, creative strategies for funding college costs, how the federal and state budget crisis will affect student aid, and the current market outlook and where to invest for college will be offered.
