A one-day class is being held at Wichita State University that teaches parents and prospective students about the options available for paying for college.

"How to Finance a College Education" is a free financial aid planning seminar open to the public to help people learn what types of financial assistance are available and how to qualify.

The class, which requires a reservation, is from 10-11:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 9, at the WSU West Campus, 3801 N. Walker Ave.

Anyone, whether a high school student, parents planning their child's education or an adult returning to college, can learn about their financial options.

Following the presentation, WSU staff will remain on-site to answer questions.
