#79: This one’s for you parents who have kids in college or soon going to college…

In the COVID relief stimulus bill that passed at the end of 2020, there was a big chunk about federal student financial aid.

New rules are bringing significant changes to college financial aid. This week, I deep dive with my friend Ann Garcia, aka The College Financial Lady, on what these changes are and how they will impact you and your family.

We discuss:

  • Overview of the federal student financial aid application process, including key dates
  • Important changes coming to the federal financial aid process: for the FAFSA application, families with multiple college-aged kids, grandparent 529 plans, divorced parents, and more
  • Timeline and phasing of these changes coming in 2021, 2022, 2023 and beyond
