How to pay for college is one of the most frequent questions I get from parents.

This week I interviewed Celest Horton from\\xa0How to Pay For College HQ\\xa0to learn about the great resources to help parents pay for college.

Celest knows it\'s possible to pay for college without student loans (she did it). Each week, on her\\xa0How to Pay for College HQ\\xa0podcast she interviews industry experts to help listeners\\xa0learn what is necessary to plan, prepare and pay for college without the assistance of loans.

In this episode we discuss:

\\n
• The need for your teenager to be engaged in the process of selecting a college and applying for aide
\\n
• The importance of your teenager to show a "demonstrated interest" in schools they want to go to so they can improve their chances of receiving merit aide. They can do this by following a school on social media and intreating with the admissions department.
\\n
• How a high school senior could graduate with 1 or 2 years of college credit by taking duel purpose classes in high school to earn college credit.
\\n
• What the\\xa0FAFSA form\\xa0is and why its important to complete in January each year.
\\n
• The importance of researching potential college\'s average SAT scores, tuition and how generous they are with merit aide.
