How to Make College Affordable: US Students and Families Edition

An OnDemand Mini-Course w/ Special Guest Amanda Miller 

I partnered with Amanda Miller—author of the Paying For College in Four Steps resource—to offer this two-week mini-course.

This comprehensive, pay-what-you-can mini course — intended for 9th to 12th graders and their families — will guide you through pretty much all the things you need to know when it comes to paying for college.

This course covers:

  • How to determine which colleges are likely to be your best financial fits by answering just 2 questions
  • Pros and cons of the simplified FAFSA rolling out this fall, who the changes impact, and a brief overview of common headache-inducing #FAFSAFails
  • How to look for (and find!) scholarships without losing hope/your mind… and why searching for scholarships online may not be the best use of your time anyways
  • Step-by-step guide to building an incredible college list that’s both exciting and practical
  • Best tips for locating and winning local scholarships (February through April is prime season for this!)
  • A handy one-page handout to help you decode your financial aid award letters when you get them
  • What to do when the amount offered by a college isn’t enough to make it affordable
  • Some extra and often overlooked financial aid steps that students should anticipate so they don’t end up panic-scrambling to meet a deadline
  • Lots more
