College Aid Pro Office Hours is a free, live event for parents, students, teachers, financial advisors, and anyone looking for answers to the questions keeping them up at night in regards to college financial planning. Each week, a CAP college planning expert will host the event and get through as many questions as possible! We are happy you are taking the proactive approach to learning about the best ways to shop for college, because knowledge is power in the process of applying to college.
