Dear Finnegan,

We hope you enjoy the long weekend.

Financial Aid Night (This Thursday evening)

Thursday, October 13 at 7 pm

Location - National Cathedral School, Hearst Hall

An informational presentation for upper school families from Sidwell, GDS, NCS, St Albans and Maret will be held at NCS. The evening features keynote guest speaker Chad Spencer, Associate Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid, Davidson College who will discuss loans, grants, scholarships, and more.

Join us for an evening focused upon college costs. From scholarships to loans to applications for need-based aid, our guest speaker Chad Spencer from Davidson College Admission and Financial Aid will provide a detailed overview of what monies are available, and how awards are granted. The event is designed for adults, only; to make it easier (and more enjoyable!) for all who wish to attend, we will provide baby-sitting and a pizza dinner for any younger children that families need to bring along. No RSVP necessary.

Remember students should be “logging in” their college information with their college counselor.
