How To Tame The High Cost Of College / Interview with Brad Baldridge

Hi Friend,Welcome to the podcast today and I'm so glad that you're here joining me. We all know how crazy expensive college can be these days. I had no idea but the research shows, the majority of college dropouts leave because of financial pressure. Today I am talking with Brad Baldridge, and he is an experienced College Funding Specialist who has worked with thousands of families to plan and save for college and this is such an interesting interview because I wish I would have known Brad before my three kids went to college because so much of what he talks about I didn't know and I wasn't intentional like I could have been (my husband and I could have been) to really prepare for our kids going to college and to find creative ways to save money. In this episode Brad shares so much that you're going to find helpful: How to plan ahead and how to pay for college.How to plan ahead and pay for collegeMaximizing financial aid and scholarships (there are so many scholarships out there)How you can be more intentional and save moneyI'm so excited for you to hear and listen to this and I know you're going to find it really helpful.So let's jump in!____________________Here's the Link to Sign Up for the Moms of Tweens and Teens FREE AND LIVE 3-Day Training Series How to Understand and Help Your Teen with Challenging Emotions, Attitudes, and Behaviors starting Tuesday, March 1st 1PM EST, 10PM PST, 6PM U.KResources Brad Mentioned In This Episode:Financial Aid & Expected Family Contribution (EFC) Calculator – 2022-23The Scholarship Guide for Busy ParentsCost of Colleges by StateSupport the showCheck out our Moms of Tweens and Teens website HERESign up for our Moms of Tweens and Teens newsletter HERE Find more encouragement, wisdom, and resources: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/momsoftweensandteens/ Join our Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Momsoftweensandteens Find awesome resources on MOTTs University: https://www.mottsuniversity.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/momsoftweensandteens/ Sheryl also has an Inner Circle weekly Parenting Program with a community of like-minded moms, personal coaching, and tons of resources to equip and support you to love well, navigate the challenges and meet your tween and teen’s unique needs during these pivotal years.
