Head of Wells Fargo
Education Financial Services, Kirk Bare, said, “Students and
parents have a number of questions when it comes to college
planning, so we are facilitating the sharing of knowledge, advice
and experiences through the Wells Fargo
Community.”
According to Wells Fargo, developing a plan to
pay for college education has become increasingly important to a
large portion of the US population as the overall expenses are
increasing every year.
The Wells Fargo
Community site provides links to the bank’s Student Centre for
resources that can guide prospective students finance their higher
education.
The community members can also engage with
each other as well as Wells Fargo
representatives in a variety of college planning
discussions, including choosing a college, student and parent
impressions of campus visits, and how parents with young children
can begin to save for college.
