| 9/1/25 |  Why Should You Be Concerned About Paying for College | If you’re a parent, you’ve probably already noticed that tuition and fees don’t look anything like they did when you were in school. And if you’re a student, you may already be concerned about how you’ll pay for your education. The truth is, college costs are going up, and they’re going up faster than most people’s income. However, the good news is that if you understand what’s driving these costs and plan ahead, you can prepare to pay a reasonable amount and avoid being caught off guard. | 6m 37s | ||||||
| 8/19/25 |  Your Child Might Get Less Financial Aid This Year and What That Means for Your Family | Families across the country are about to feel the impact of something that’s happening behind the scenes in Washington, D.C. The federal government is cutting back on how much money it gives to help students pay for college, and those cuts could make college more expensive for everyone, especially low- and middle-income families. | 24m 16s | ||||||
| 8/7/25 |  Avoiding College Scholarship Scams | Avoiding college scholarship scams is crucial for students and families trying to find legitimate financial help. What we want to cover today is to cover ideas on how to protect yourself from being scammed by companies asking you for personal information in order to win or apply for college scholarships. | 20m 02s | ||||||
| 7/25/25 |  Student Loans And The One Big Beautiful Bill | If you or your child plans to borrow federal student loans for college in the future, things are about to change in a big way. The new law, often called the One Big Beautiful Bill, makes some of the biggest changes to student loans in decades.These new rules mostly apply to loans starting on or after July 1, 2026, so current students may still have time under the old system. But families with younger students need to prepare now. | 19m 41s | ||||||
| 7/18/25 |  How the Big Beautiful Bill Changes College Student Loans | If you or your child plans to borrow federal student loans for college in the future, things are about to change in a big way. The new law, often referred to as the Big Beautiful Bill, introduces some of the most significant changes to student loans in decades.These new rules mostly apply to loans starting on or after July 1, 2026, so current students may still have time under the old system. But families with younger students need to prepare now. | 23m 45s | ||||||
| 7/17/25 |  Higher Education Tax Credits | Educational tax credits are programs from the IRS that can reduce the amount of money you owe in federal income taxes if you’re paying for college. These credits help families lower their tax bill and potentially receive a refund simply by sending their child to college and paying for expenses such as tuition, qualified books, and fees. | 27m 51s | ||||||
| 7/3/25 |  How To Shelter Your Assets On The FAFSA/CSS Profile Part 2 | When it comes to protecting your money on the CSS Profile to get the most financial aid from colleges, what we discussed so far applies only to the FAFSA. The CSS Profile is a separate form used by many private colleges to award their own (institutional) aid, and it treats assets and income much more strictly. Here are the key differences you’ll see on the CSS Profile. | 16m 18s | ||||||
| 6/20/25 |  How To Shelter Your Assets On The FAFSA Part 1 | When it's time to fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), many parents worry that having money saved may hurt their child’s chances of receiving financial aid for college. The truth is, the FAFSA does look at your income and certain assets (like bank accounts and investments), but there are smart ways to legally protect or "shelter" some of those assets, so they don’t count against you. | 22m 07s | ||||||
| 6/16/25 |  Income Threshold for Asset Reporting On The FAFSA | To qualify for the asset reporting exemption, applicants must meet certain conditions. If these conditions are met, the FAFSA form may automatically allow you to skip the asset questions, and you won't need to report them. Skipping reportable assets could increase your need-based aid by thousands of dollars. | 18m 17s | ||||||
| 6/6/25 |  What Colleges Do Not Always Tell You But You Really Need to Know - Part 2 | This podcast is Part 2 of " What Colleges Do Not Always Tell You But You Really Need to Know." We will cover nine other areas where colleges can be deceptive, either intentionally or through misleading omissions. | 19m 23s | ||||||
| 5/29/25 |  What Colleges Do Not Always Tell You But You Really Need to Know | Colleges, especially those under pressure to meet enrollment or revenue goals, may not always be fully transparent about key aspects of the student experience and the real costs of attendance. This podcast will cover several areas where colleges can be deceptive, either intentionally or through misleading omissions. | 16m 03s | ||||||
| 5/25/25 |  How Important Are Business Assets On The FAFSA? | Business assets can be important on the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), but how much they affect financial aid eligibility depends on a few key factors. Business assets might include real estate owned by the business, inventory, equipment, vehicles, and other property. You do not count the value of personal assets, like the family home (unless it's owned by the business). Large business assets can significantly increase your Student Aid Index (SAI), potentially reducing your financial aid. | 27m 14s | ||||||
| 5/12/25 |  Completing the FAFSA: What Parents Need to Know About Assets | Assets play a significant role in determining a student’s eligibility for need-based financial aid through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA uses a formula called the Federal Methodology to calculate a student’s Student Aid Index (SAI). This figure determines how much financial aid a student is eligible for. Assets, along with income, are key components in this calculation. | 37m 40s | ||||||
| 5/1/25 |  Completing the FAFSA: What Parents Need to Know About Cash and Savings | Filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is one of the most important steps in securing financial aid for your child’s college education. But many parents are surprised to learn that their cash and savings accounts can significantly impact the amount of aid their child is eligible to receive. Understanding how your assets are viewed and what you do or don’t need to report can make a major difference. | 24m 50s | ||||||
| 4/28/25 |  Keeping The College Coach Up To Date | Why You Should Keep College Coaches Updated on Your ProgressWhen you're being recruited, it's not enough to send one great highlight reel or one impressive email and then sit back and wait. College recruiting is an ongoing relationship-building process, and just like in any strong relationship, communication is key. Keeping coaches updated on your progress shows them that you're serious, engaged, and constantly improving. | 23m 07s | ||||||
