#191 - 2024 College Planning with Cozy Wittman

On today's episode, Brad Wright and Jeff Tomaneng are joined by Cozy Wittman. Cozy is an education and partnership leader at College Inside Track. Cozy speaks nationally about college search, educating families and training financial advisors and other professionals who work with families with high schoolers. She is passionate about dispelling myths around how colleges accept students and how they price their product. She has been featured in The Journal of Financial Planning on the subject of college planning. And she's a mom to 5 kids, all with different goals for college! We discuss: College planning being more than "Just get in and we'll figure it out" We'll attempt to understand the difference between need-based aid and merit-based aid, how to search for colleges that give more, and how to appeal their initial offering. We'll learn what impact FAFSA changes have had on the college search and pricing process Contact Cozy at www.collegeinsidetrack.com
