Episode 38: Financial Aid and College Affordability
b'
Alongside stick-figure families and save-the-environment slogans, there\\u2019s another bumper sticker you're bound to see if you spend enough time on the road: "My kid and my money go to [insert university name here]."
It's a sticker that's quite real and honest. And in the spirit of being real and honest, we wanted to share an episode of College Admissions Insider that\\u2019s all about the truth behind college affordability.
In this episode, we\\u2019ll define need-based aid, discuss how families should factor affordability into their college search, and try to dispel some misconceptions about college costs \\u2014 all in hopes of demystifying this crucial aspect of the college admissions process.
Our guest is Lisa Keegan, Bucknell\\u2019s vice president for enrollment management. Lisa has worked in higher education for over 15 years, with nearly a decade spent in enrollment management leadership roles.
