CSM Administrator Featured on MPT's “Ways to Pay for College”
CSM Financial Assistance Director Chris Zimmermann, left, wants students to be informed on options to finance college so he took to the airwaves in a program on just that topic. “Ways to Pay for College,” produced by Frank Batavick, of Maryland Public Television (MPT), outlines the numerous ways that students can pay for college and provides tips on filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) which is the first step in applying for federal, state, local, non-profit and corporate scholarships and grants.
