What to expect at the Cass County Launch Party


an open air stage with people sitting on chairs in front of the stage.

BND and partners bring you the Cass County Launch Party. This is a one-night stop to help parents understand the financial considerations for their child’s life after high school. It’s being held on Thursday, September 5, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. for parents and guardians of Cass County high school students, and their students if they choose to come along.

Whether your child is heading straight to a career, into the military or some type of education beyond high school, you don’t want to miss this free event. You’ll learn more about what your child needs to think about when it comes to money by visiting booths and moving from table-to-table in a speed-dating style format. Experts will discuss topics including scholarship resources and applications, FAFSA, internships, apprenticeships, military careers, financial literacy and financing college. The conversation is casual and meets your personal needs.

In addition, this year discussion tables and booths will expand to include financial information for college students, who can attend to learn about topics such as student loan repayment, scholarships and more.


What people said they liked about past events.

  • “The people providing information were very helpful and able to answer our questions. We learned a lot about things we didn’t know existed.”
  • “Structure of event is very good. It was useful to have short amounts of time with different experts. Well planned and organized.”
  • “All the tables with subject matter experts we could talk to and ask questions of in one place.”

Experts will lead a speed-dating style table discussion and booths.

  • My child is going straight to a career or the military. What do they need to understand about money and expenses?
  • My child is going to college. How do we apply for financial aid? How can they avoid too much student loan debt?
  • What are the career options with certificates and apprenticeships?
  • How can we cut college costs and avoid too much student loan debt?
  • How do I complete the FAFSA?
  • I’m a college student. What are some strategies to repaying student loans? What resources are available to help me make confident financial decisions?
  • And more!

Great prizes!! Thanks to our sponsors!

  • Cash prizes
  • High School Grad Party for a 2025 Senior at the POW/MIA Plaza in downtown West Fargo and a $250 catering voucher (no cash value)
