Is Financial Aid Dead?
There's a not-so-silent financial aid killer, lurking in the shadows, awaiting hapless families looking to apply for college financial aid this year.
This assassin appears to have targeted middle class and upper middle class families with college-bound kids.
Who-slash-what is this criminal?
The federal Department of Education. The Department has revamped its financial aid eligibility rules for the first time in 40 years. The press has called these changes "tectonic."
I call them, "sh-tty."
Parden my francais, but I calls 'em like I sees 'em. And in a few minutes, I'll be doing just that when we go live:
I'm doing a last-minute, quickie webinar on the changes -- and my thoughts and strategies on how to cope -- if you're applying for financial aid this year and beyond.
Here's some of what's on tap tonight:
*Rules changes for families with more than one child in college
*Rules changes for business owners
*Rules changes for divorced families
*Rules changes for how contributions from grandparents or others are treated in the financial aid formulas
*Changes in the timing of when you file
*The effect of the changes on students who apply Early Decision and Early Action
*More -- including your questions, live in chat
Here's where to sign up for this one-time, live event:
This is a live event, we're not set up for a replay.
