NextStudent to Be Spotlighted at Largest Virtual College Fair
Don Fenstermaker, the founder and CEO of NextStudent, will join noted names Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of FinAid.org, and Kim Clark, senior writer for U.S. World & News Report, as one of only a few financial aid experts to give a live streaming video keynote presentation on college financing at today’s CollegeWeekLive event.
CollegeWeekLive, the largest virtual college fair on the Web, is hosting its “Paying for College” event today as a free online resource for students and parents looking for information on college financing and the financial aid process.
Fenstermaker’s presentation, “Paying for College A–Z,” will be streamed live from his NextStudent office in Phoenix, Ariz., and NextStudent’s professional Education Finance Advisors will be on-hand to interact directly with students and parents, discussing their college financing options, answering questions about parent and student loans, and offering guidance on where to find the financial resources that can help families cover all their college costs.
CollegeWeekLive participants are also invited to visit NextStudent’s virtual booths and watch spotlight video presentations on the company’s free online scholarship database, its flagship private student loan program, and its popular NextPath blogs for students, graduates, and parents.
From any NextStudent booth, attendees can connect directly to the NextStudent website, chat live with a NextStudent Education Finance Advisor, search over $16 billion in available scholarships, and apply free for a private student loan.
The fair kicks off at 10 a.m. Eastern today and runs until 8 p.m. Admission is free, and students and parents can still register online through the CollegeWeekLive website.
