On Nov. 19, Carmel will host Financial Aid Night for students and their parents. The program is geared towards juniors and seniors, but all students are welcome. Shelly Rubinstein, guidance counselor, will organize the event.
“I think the economy will affect students applying for college and I hope more will attend (Financial Aid Night) because expenses will go up,” Rubinstein said.
“Going to college is really expensive and getting a scholarship really helps you focus on your major, not just getting the best deal,” Casi Rainey, sophomore, said.
The program will advertise financial aid and scholarship options for students. There are merit, federal and state scholarships, as well as Carmel Clay Education Foundation (CCEF) scholarships.
In fact, over 70 different types of scholarships will be discussed. Heidi Carl of the University of Indianapolis will be a guest speaker at the event. A representative from the CCEF will also speak.
This event previews another event which will take place in May; Scholarship Night. On that night, any students who received a college scholarship will be recognized. Last year, 270 seniors were recognized, earning $8.2 million..
“I’m really proud of the students for taking the time and initiative to go out and find that scholarship money,” Rubinstein said.
With the economy in its current state and college applications under way, many Carmel students will take advantage of Financial Aid Night.
“I will try as hard as I can and give everything I have into earning a scholarship,” Rainey said.
