How Will We Pay For It?

As high school juniors and seniors navigate the college admissions process, they might consider that journey to be proceeding on parallel paths. The first encompasses elements like an institution's programming and sense of place. The second: how to pay for that experience. This week on Admissions Beat, in an encore episode drawn from its predecessor podcast series, The Search, host Lee Coffin of Dartmouth and his guests provide an overview of various financial aid forms and policies, as well as options to defray the cost of college. They do so with the goal of instilling perspective, knowledge, and, ultimately, reassurance. Dean Coffin is joined by Dino Koff, director of financial aid at Dartmouth, and Erica Rosales, executive director of College Match, a nonprofit organization in Los Angeles that works with low-income students.
