Over the course of two days in February and May, the Hormel Inspired Pathways program team hosted a series of eight instructional sessions with 100 employees at the Jennie-O facility in Barron, Wisconsin before and after their shifts. The goal of the virtual visits: help employees utilize the company’s Inspired Pathways Scholarship and Advising Program, and better understand the ins and outs of college applications and financial aid.
Some of the topics the Inspired Pathways team covered:
- Community college scholarship details
- Navigating FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)
- Wisconsin-specific financial aid questions
- The difference between a college’s “sticker price” and final costs
- The many ways families can utilize the Pathways program to help their student get into and afford 4-year colleges.
