Why This Workshop Matters
College Costs More Than Tuition.

Financial Education Positioning
College Planning Is Also Financial Planning.
Preparing for college creates financial decisions that can impact a family long after graduation. Understanding credit, budgeting, borrowing, student loans, financial aid, and long-term financial planning can help families make better decisions before those decisions become expensive.
Z3 Carolinas believes financial education should begin before major financial commitments are made.

STUDENT LOAN EDUCATION
Understand borrowing before accepting debt.
FAMILY FINANCIAL PLANNING
Learn how college expenses can fit into the bigger household financial picture.

College may be the destination.
Financial education is part of the roadmap.
