Big changes are coming to the College! podcast — including a new name and fresh intro music — but first, Matt Carpenter sits down with financial aid expert Kevin “Murph Man” Murphy for a deep dive into how college affordability really works. From high-income families unexpectedly qualifying for need-based aid to major wins on financial aid appeals, Matt and Kevin break down real-life case studies that challenge the biggest myths about who gets financial help for college.

They explore the nuances of the FAFSA vs. CSS Profile, why divorced and business-owning families need to be strategic, and how understanding each college’s unique “business model” can unlock hidden discounts. Whether you’re earning six figures, managing multiple kids in college, or just starting your financial aid journey, this episode will help you see the system in a whole new light.

🎙️ Highlights include:

• Why even $400K+ earners can qualify for need-based aid

• How “appeals” (not negotiations!) can change everything

• What divorced and split-household families must know

• The new FAFSA rule that benefits small business owners

Tune in for insider insights that could save your family thousands on college costs — and get ready for next week’s big reveal!
