Which Financial Aid Questions Do You Have?
Top of the morning:
I speak publicly about college-related topics 15-20 times per year, but this Wednesday, I'm doing something different.
Instead of moi deciding what you need to know, I'm putting YOU in the driver's seat with a live Q&A:
Finally! Your Financial Aid Questions, Answered
i may think that I know what YOU should know when I'm prepping for a "normal" talk, but I'm frequently dead wrong, and leave out important information. So I'm doing something about it.
This Wednesday, it's your chance to ask me and/or Pearl, our resident Financial Aid Maven, any of your questions about paying for college, including but not limited to:
- How do you apply?
- When do you apply?
- What are the big changes this year?
- Is it worth my time to apply for those random scholarships for left-handed oboists of Viking descent with spastic colons?
- What's the deal with the 529?
- How do I know if I'll qualify?
- What is the maximum income you can have and still qualify?
- I heard from my guidance counselor/accountant/financial guy/another parent/random guy at the deli that XYZ College never gives money. Is he/she/them/they/insert-
pronoun-here correct? - Does applying Early Decision hurt your chances of getting aid?
- More! This list is just to get you thinking. Anything goes, it's your "show"
Nothing will be held back. We're live and unscripted, working without a safety net! Here's how it works:
First, sign up.
Second, submit your "burning question" via the survey on the thank you page. It's that simple.
Here's where to go:
See you on the airwaves.

P.S. We typically get a couple hundred or so folks to register.
That means that we won't be able to answer every single question, but we'll do our best.
Here's a tip to help increase the odds that we get to your question: if it pertains to a situation that others could share, as opposed to an ultra-specific, detail-laden scenario that fits only your set of facts.
If you've ever been at a high school "College Night" or on an official college tour, I bet you can figure out why I had to write that.
(If you have any doubts about whether your question will benefit others, submit it and we'll be the judge.)
P.P.S. Please share this invitation with anybody you think could use it.
