Orlando – Beginning Jan. 23, Valencia College will host a series of college scholarship workshops at public schools and several of its campuses across Orange and Osceola counties. The workshops will provide prospective college students with one-on-one help completing college applications, scholarship essays and financial aid documents.
High school seniors, returning adult students and their families are welcome to attend the events which are open to the community. Information session will be provided in both English and Spanish and the $35 Valencia College application fee will be waived.
