Early College Planning

The first Early College Planning Night sponsored by the Burlington High School Guidance Department was well attended. Over 70 Parents of students in Kindergarten through 8^th grade were in present. Julie Shields-Rutyna from MEFA gave a very detailed and informative presentation. Many facets of financial aid were covered. Julie discussed the College Navigator Webs-Site which gives tuition prices, % of students receiving merit aid and % of students receiving need based aid. We encourage parents to further research this web-site. The other two hot topics of the night were the MassachusettsU Fund 529 Plan and the U Plan Prepaid Tuition Program.

For Parents that missed the event it will be televised and streamed on BCAT.
