How to Choose a College That Is a Good Fit for You. Questions About Cost of Attendance and Financial Aid. Also, How to Ask for Institutional Aid and Using Your Summers Wisely While in College

#014 – On this episode we cover that very important question every student should ask, “Can I afford to attend the school to which I am planning to apply?” 

We uncover the real cost of going to college and go over the elements that you will receive as part of your financial aid.

We also talk about the importance of finding out the potential aid you may receive from a college or university itself, also called Institutional Aid, and the efficacy of asking for it.

By the you are done listening to this episode, you will know the real cost of attending a specific college or university, questions to ask financial aid officers at the school about institutional aid they may grant you, and your ability to afford attending that school.

We will also talk about a very practical way to lower the cost of your education. That is, planning and using your college summers wisely.
