Webinar - Finances for Parents: FAFSA + 529s

Does the thought of college planning seem overwhelming? Not sure where to start when it comes to college admissions and financial aid? Don’t worry, you’re not alone!

For many, the purchase of a college education is now the 2nd most expensive purchase a family will make other than their home, and all the decisions for choosing the right college and how to pay for it present many challenges. Recent legislation has also introduced significant changes to the financial aid process and the FAFSA in 2023 – including rules on 529 plans; the impact on various types of families and small business owners; and more.

In this webinar, we'll be discussing:

  • How FAFSA is used by colleges and the Federal Government;

  • How FAFSA changes will impact families, including families with multiple kids in college or where parents are divorced;

  • How FAFSA changes will shift potential savings strategies;

  • How colleges have also shifted their admission and scholarship policies to favor certain criteria

Sign up today for this informative webinar hosted by Bob Ingram, CFP® of Center for Financial Planning, Inc., and Heidi King of College Inside Track to learn more about this current landscape and how these changes may require new planning strategies for parents and grandparents.
