Episode #286- College Financial Aid Season
Manage episode 460404892 series 1073221
It's that time of year again - college admission season! But with the high cost of tuition, it can be a stressful time for families. In 1990, the average tuition cost for a 4-year public college was around $3,190. Fast forward to today, and that number has risen to over $10,000. That's why it's important to take advantage of all the resources available to you. One key step is completing the free application for student aid (FAFSA) and the CSS profile.
These forms can help determine your expected family contribution and make you eligible for financial aid. Proper financial planning is also crucial in minimizing your expected family contribution. It's important to note that certain assets, like retirement accounts and primary residence, are not reported on the FAFSA. However, assets like cash and savings accounts should be reported accurately.
