In this episode, Lisa and Beth discuss:

  • The changes to federal financial aid are set to begin in 2024.
  • Why parents should wait 10-15 days before applying with the new FAFSA application.
  • How to take back your family’s financial power and not rely solely on the government formula for your student’s education budget.
  • Strategies to handle the uncertainty of the college financial aid application process.
  • Shifting the paradigm so your family doesn’t end up college-poor.

Key Takeaways:

  • If your student’s chosen college has a hard deadline for the FAFSA application, ask them if they have any grace periods on that deadline. Many deadlines can be more flexible than families realize.
  • A known error in the formula in the 2024 federal financial aid application will result in many students and families receiving less aid this year than they will next year.
  • Government aid is only one piece of the financial puzzle and should not be the main indicator of financial direction for your student’s college experience.
  • Think about college like buying a house - your student will want to be clear on their must-haves and their nice-to-haves and understand the difference between those when making a decision.

“We can’t let the government formula dictate how we’re going to spend money…It’s only one piece of the puzzle, but it shouldn’t be driving the bus.” – Beth Walker
