About this event

Ocean County College’s “Opening Pathways to Education Now” (O.P.E.N.) program is an initiative that seeks to increase awareness of the affordability of obtaining a post-secondary education. To achieve this task, we have established a series of workshops throughout the year to assist students in completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Get expert guidance at our FREE workshops! We'll help you complete the application, step-by-step, maximizing your financial aid possibilities & helping you achieve your college goals.

Only one ticket per family is required for this event.

️ Workshops run March- June. Open to everyone, even if you're not attending OCC!
