Selecting the right college financial aid package can have a tremendous impact on students. There is so much to consider — tuition and fees; housing, meal plans and other attendance-related costs; and other areas related to academic and campus life.

To help provide a better understanding of the selection process, the UCOP Latinx Staff Association (LaSA) invites you to join a Charla de la Tarde — afternoon chat — focused on the ins and outs of choosing the right student financial aid package.

Apri Medina, Ph.D., associate director of student financial support, and Jamal Collins, student financial support analyst, UC Graduate, Undergraduate and Equity Affairs, will provide expert guidance.
