(11/04/2025) Families across Anoka-Hennepin are invited to learn practical ways to make college more affordable at an upcoming Financing Your Future event held at Coon Rapids High School and hosted by Anoka-Hennepin Schools Career and College Specialists. The event is free and open to the public. 

When: Wednesday, Nov. 19, from 6–8 p.m.

Go deeper: The event is designed to help students and their families turn their college dreams into reality with sessions focused on scholarships, strategies for lowering college costs, maximizing financial aid opportunities and earning college credit in high school. Sessions are led by career and college specialists from each Anoka-Hennepin high school to help establish connections and resources students can revisit throughout the school year.

Get a jump start: Families of high school seniors can participate in a hands-on FAFSA Help Session offering one-on-one support from financial aid experts.

• Families are encouraged to bring necessary FAFSA information, including 2024 tax returns and contributor details (social security number, date of birth), and a record of assets to take full advantage of the help session. 

• Students are encouraged to bring a list of schools they are interested in attending.

• Families can bring their studentaid.gov account information or get help setting it up at the event.

Each of Anoka-Hennepin’s five traditional high schools provides a College and Career center and counselors to provide resources and assist students and families for life following high school.
