Howard Greene and Associates facilitated our Annual College Prep Workshop on Sunday, October 17th at Fordham University in New York City. Matthew Greene gave an informative presentation on how to navigate the college process followed by a presentation from Patricia Peek, Associate Dean of Admissions at Fordham University.
One of our family members stated that, "It was extremely helpful for my daughter, who might make the school of her choice now, thanks to Mr. Greene's assistance and tips from her one on one essay session. Everyone was so nice to us."
Representatives from Families of Freedom Scholarship provided the families with information and eligibility for their educational scholarships. Seniors had the unique opportunity to meet one-on-one with Matthew Greene and Ginger Miller to go through their college essay and applications.
