Do you like shopping around to find a good deal? Do you like finding shortcuts that save you time and money? You may not realize this, but many of the colleges your child applies to are going to offer you discounted tuition in the form of needs-based aid and merit-based aid. Unfortunately, applying for these discounts is difficult and time-consuming, and universities are not always transparent about how they award aid. Our host, Kurtis Baker, is joined by Ryan Visniski, the founder of College Financial Guide. He visited us to provide you with a simple and easy framework to understand this confusing system. Colleges will likely be your largest or second largest expense, but Ryan is here to make sure you know how to pay as little as possible and avoid the pitfalls along the way.
