This two-part episode will feature the Stand By Me NexGen program, which offers two programs to high school students to help them imagine their future lifestyle, and then access the funds that will help them achieve it via higher education: “College, Careers, and Cash” and “The College Funding Project.”

This episode features Sally Coonin and Candace Kinard, and focuses on the College Funding Project - a program to help students access funds via grants and scholarships to pay for college - with special emphasis on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

The second part of this two-part episode will focus on College, Careers, and Cash – An interactive program for ninth and tenth grade students that connects the dots between education, careers, finances, and lifestyle.

The Delaware Financial Empowerment Partnership (DFEP) is a joint venture of the State of Delaware and the United Way of Delaware working together to combine resources and to create and implement an innovative package of financial empowerment services.
