VPT Online: Public Square: Planning for College

PUBLIC SQUARE is a new initiative addressing issues of concern to Vermonters. Mixing documentary footage, thoughtful insight, in-depth panel discussions and more, we’ll keep you informed about local events and issues that affect your lives.

Planning for College
Live with Viewer Call-in

Tues., March 22 at 8 pm

Help with higher education is available from the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC) on the next "Public Square" program. Viewers will hear advice from VSAC staff on finding the college or university that is right for them.

Host Rob Michalak will interview VSAC staff members about the resources available to help Vermonters find the school that suits them and how to prepare applications.

In addition, VSAC counselors will be in the VPT studio during the broadcast so that viewers can call and speak privately with a representative. A toll-free number will be announced during the broadcast.

VSAC was established by the Vermont Legislature in 1965 to help Vermonters plan and pay for education beyond high school. This is the second VPT broadcast with VSAC, following up on last fall's program about paying for college.

"Planning for College: A VPT Public Square Special" will be taped and repeated on Sat., March 26 at 9 am.
