NAPFA Subject Area: A-Financial Planning Process

Course Description

Research has shown that far too many lower-income and first-generation students do not apply for financial aid for — let alone attend and graduate from — the top colleges and universities for which they are qualified. To complicate things further, the FAFSA Simplification Act will make sweeping changes to an already confusing and complex financial aid process.

The NAPFA Foundation has dedicated itself to offering families the tools needed to create a cost-effective plan for paying for college. Join us to learn what challenges families face and the planning opportunities advisors need to know, as well as how you can help those families that have the most need.

This webinar is sponsored by the NAPFA Foundation.
