As if searching for and applying to college wasn't complicated enough, now more than ever the cost and affordability of attending an institution can be difficult to understand, at first glance. That's why Regis College's Director of Financial Aid, Tanya Jean-Francois, sat down with Alex this week to discuss the ins and outs of applying for financial aid, completing the FAFSA, important timelines, and what an applicant can do to best prepare themselves for the financial implications of attending college. While students may be familiar with the first step, completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) they may not realize the other options available. While each school will be different, as well as each student's circumstances, this episode is a great place to start if you're feeling overwhelmed about the financial aid process.
