Participant Feedback
I learned about things I never considered. The Workshop for scholarships, grants, and paying for college. Gave me tools to search for scholarships, grants, and other opportunities. I have been awarded $20,000 for Fall 2022.
Thank you for providing the tools I need to succeed!
Erianna Sanders
This class was good for me, it gave me a refresher and reminded me of somethings that I have forgotten. I am looking forward to using some of the tips provided in the workshops to create a budget and start saving. Retirement is around the corner, now I feel I will be more prepared.

This was a very informative class. I never considered Life Insurance policies, IUL, and other Health policies. I reflect on losing my husband and being faced with unexpected bills and expenses. I wished I would have taken part of this learning a few years ago.
Andrea Dunbar
I had no clue about any of the information discussed. Until today, I was looking to finish school before considering saving, planning, and investing. I understand now how important it is to start now.
