Wheaton's Gary UMC offers class on college search process

Applying to college has become far more complex as so much has changed since many of us went to school.

Gary United Methodist Church in Wheaton is offering the class, "Need-to-Know Changes in College Search Process" from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 15.

Hear from Heidi King, who speaks nationwide on the college search process, and discover how to better position your student for success. You'll learn trends in college tuition, the ACT/SAT test-optional landscape, the upcoming revamped FAFSA, the shift in admissions for how you apply and other helpful tips. Discover how these changes may impact your family, and learn new strategies to consider for this exciting but sometimes stressful process. Dinner will be provided. Sign up by Monday, Oct. 9 at garychurch.org/registrations.

She works closely with community members to provide education and help with this exciting but stressful milestone family event. King is no stranger to the college process, as she recently went through it herself with her two sons.
