The Boys & Girls Club of Burbank recently partnered with Cynthia Wagner, college planner and co-founder of College Help Squad, to offer free application counseling for federal student aid assistance to high school seniors who have not yet completed their application.
Wagner, a professional college planner, brings with her seven years of experience helping high school students and their families locally and across the nation.
She became passionate about college planning while going through the process with her son, a recent graduate of Purdue University, and her daughter, a sophomore at Pasadena City College.
“Being part of their experiences getting into and attending college gave her valuable insight. She’s been able to observe and compare the varying needs and emotional states of students pre- and post-pandemic and developed her own unique set of tips to help navigate the application process,” the Boys & Girls Club of Burbank said in a statement.
For those who would like assistance with the FAFSA process and would like more information on attending an upcoming Zoom presentation, email Arpineh Khodagholian at Arpineh@bgcburbank.org.
