Financial Aid Workshops at OCC
Looking to attend college but you don’t know how to pay for tuition? Ocean County College is offering O.P.E.N. (Opening Pathways to Education Now) Workshops during the months of February, March, and April. The O.P.E.N. program is an initiative that seeks to increase awareness of the affordability of obtaining a post-secondary education. All workshops are held on the OCC Main Campus, College Drive, Toms River, NJ. Free and open to the public.
While geared toward high school sophomore and junior students and their families, these special financial aid workshops are open to anyone seeking assistance in applying for Federal and New Jersey State student financial aid. The workshops will enable attendees to gain awareness of financial aid programs. It will also give students and their families a projected indication of the aid that the student might be eligible for upon completion of high school.
