The O.P.E.N. program is an initiative that seeks to increase awareness of the affordability of obtaining a post-secondary education. Sessions are designed to assist parents and students in completing the FAFSA application and discuss the basic concepts of financial aid including cost of attendance, estimated family contribution, and the differences between loans and grants.

Attendees should bring their 2015 Federal Tax Returns (call for alternate document options) and W-2s for student and parents (if applicable) and all accompanying schedules.

Those interested in attending can RSVP online at go.ocean.edu/events. For more information, call the Ocean County College Financial Aid Office at 732-255-0310, ext. 2019.
