“Students and families, especially those in underserved
communities, may not be taking full advantage of the financial aid
resources and scholarship and grant programs available to them,”
said John Rasmussen, head of Wells Fargo’s Personal Lending Group.
“As more jobs requiring some level of higher education come online,
it’s imperative we work towards eradicating the notion that a
degree is simply not attainable. Leveraging a webinar platform, we
can connect college planning subject matter experts with anyone who
wants to learn more about financial planning for college and life
after graduation.”
The first webinar topic, “Creating a college-bound nation,”
introduces educators, nonprofit administrators and human resources
specialists to college planning tools and ideas for how they might
be shared with the students and families they serve. These webinar
events are scheduled for Oct. 17 at noon Eastern time (for
educators and non-profits) and 2 p.m. Eastern time (for employer
audiences).
Additional webinar topics will include:
- Preparing your student for
college.
- Funding your student’s college
education.
- A guide to finding and applying for
scholarships.
- Student loan repayment.
A leader in the college financing marketplace since the
mid-1960s, Wells Fargo has made significant investments in the past
decade to produce free resources to help college-bound students
reach their higher education goals. In 2016, Wells Fargo
distributed more than 2.7 million free college planning resources
to high school students and families across the U.S.
“Demand from high schools and teachers for our college planning
resources is on the rise,” said Rasmussen. “Educators appreciate
how we’ve made the information simple to present and easy to
understand for students. Our goal is for every student to attain
the skills to make informed financial decisions, manage money
responsibly and understand the true cost of college – once housing,
miscellaneous expenses and rising tuition rates are factored in.
This knowledge may help them become financially successful when
entering the workforce.”
Wells Fargo will debut a new webinar event every four to six
weeks. All webinar events are free and recorded for playback
anytime. To register and receive information about the Wells Fargo
