ATTENTION SENIORS AND THEIR FAMILIES: On TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1st, beginning at 5:30pm, in Room S100 on the PCC Roxboro campus, we will hold our 1st ever information session for these students, and their parents, to address their concerns, their questions, their hopes. It's our plan to have representatives (college advisors, or counselors) from Person High, Roxboro Community School, Person Early College for Innovation and Leadership, PCS Virtual Academy, Roxboro Home Educators, PCC Financial Aid, and others. Also, we will have individuals knowledgeable of the "DREADED" FAFSA process, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, with help on how to get through it smoothly. This will not be a panel discussion where each panel member gets 10 minutes to make a formal presentation--it will be a simple Question & Answer session (questions from YOU, answers from US) and we want to do all we can to help you understand the process and what you need to do. I'll be honored to moderate the session. Please join us....Tuesday, October 1, 5:30pm, PCC Roxboro Campus, room S100. We look forward to seeing you. Please note that this event is being sponsored by the Roxboro Area Chamber of Commerce as part of their Business After Hours program. PCEF is a proud member of the Chamber!!
