As any parent of a college-aged kid, or those of us who have had to go it alone, can attest, trying to figure out how to pay for higher education can be a nightmare. Luckily, the knowledgeable workers at S.B.’s Cal-SOAP, or Student Opportunity and Access Program, are here to help. They are hosting free classes for parents and students, in English and Spanish, to help you learn about financial aid resources available and how you can apply for them. Each class is from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
