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 8th 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.
