Available Now… A Limited Time Offer… The Best of the FinAid Blog
It’s really hard for me to believe that I have been writing this blog for over three years (and 41 posts) .When I started this I remember our webmaster asking me if there really would “be enough topics to write about in financial aid”. Oh yeah! There’s plenty to say about financial aid. The blog has covered the ups and down of student loans (from changing repayment plans, increasing origination fees and bouncing interest rates), all aspects of our YLS financial aid policies, showcased our financial literacy programs and even given our students an ongoing forum to share their tips and strategies for successfully living on a student budget.
So it seemed only appropriate to give the incoming Class of 2018 a gift… my “Best of the FinAid Blog” collection. Compiled for you are blogs from the past that provide the best information and resources for incoming students. Blogs that deserve to be resurrected at this time of the year when our new admits are analyzng and comparing aid awards.
The “Best of” Collection includes:
- “Apples to Apples (Or At Least Granny Smith to Macintosh)- Comparing Aid Award Letters“
- “Translating the Aid Award Letter– The COA“
- “I Have An Aid Award Letter… Now What?“
- “Rumor Has It- Debunking COAP Myths“
But wait… there’s more… I am throwing in a bonus track onto the Collection with one of our newest postings which will help you understand the general cost of living here in New Haven:
In all seriousness, the Blog is actually a great way for me to share with you information in a way that is far more informal than standard financial aid communications and where i can really give you my honest sense of how a policy, a federal regulation or any development in financial aid is really going to affect you. So enjoy the “Best Of” collection and, if so inspired, check out the other posts archived on the blog as well.
