To help families in the Hillsboro and Wonewoc-Center school districts better prepare for the college financial aid application process that begins in January, University of Wisconsin-Richland assistant campus dean for student affairs Annette Hackbarth-Onson has scheduled a Financial Aid Night  at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 19 at Hillsboro High School.

This free, hour-long program is designed to assist high school seniors and their families as they plan for college next year.
Hackbarth-Onson will explain various types of financial aid and guidelines for state and federal programs. Information about scholarships—including the UW-Richland Scholarship Program’s extensive offerings--and the college application process will be presented. Details about online applications and forms will be provided. The UW-Richland Scholarship Program typically awards about $100,000 per year and students may apply for more than 125 awards by submitting a single application. The UW-Richland Scholarship program is expected to grow significantly for 2014-2015.

Following the presentation, there will be time for questions and answers. High school seniors and their parents are encouraged to attend.
