This seminar will cover many topics, including how to possibly double or even triple your eligibility for financial aid, how to locate and apply for every need-based scholarship, grant, and low-interest loan that your child may be eligible for, and how to pick the colleges that will give you the best financial aid packages.

The speaker will be Raymond B. Dietz, a well-known college funding expert. The seminar is free, but reservations are required. For reservations and information, call (310) 477-8803\. Be sure to indicate which session you will attend and the number of people in your group.
