Description
The truth is, financial aid IS complicated. It’s complicated because most people don’t really understand it and the formula for how it’s calculated has never been made public. I get it! When I was applying to college, I had the same frustrations and concerns you’re having right now. Unfortunately, no one spends the necessary time with students and parents to help them understand the process or what to do next. Get the scoop on the good, the bad, and the ugly for financial aid so that you can be prepared when it's time to apply.
Financial Aid Made Easy covers more than the basics you’ll learn at a parent night at your local high school. I dive into advanced financial aid so you understand what is going on from all angles, WHY they are asking you certain questions, and how to know if money is missing (which happens ALL THE TIME).
This course comes with videos, PDFs, and other resources to help you complete your financial paperwork more easily, and know what to do next when something goes awry (and it will.) But, don’t worry. I’m here with you every step of the way!
UPDATED information from the newest announcements from the Department of Education are addressed, as well as a full example of the easiest ways to pay for college. (Hint, it's not scholarships.)
Here’s what past students had to say:
“I’ve been a college counselor for almost 10 years and I learned new stuff in the course! I loved learning more about what’s happening in the back end and how it impacts my students.” David M.
“I recently went through a divorce and was worried about how my daughter’s financial aid would be impacted since our income changed so much. It was so nice learning in this course how I can help my daughter and not go into so much debt.” Kayla M.
