oday, we're diving into the second part of our insightful series with college planning expert Heidi King. If you thought college planning was just about selecting the right campus vibes for your kids, prepare to think again.

We continue unraveling the complexities of the modern financial aid landscape, a terrain changed by replacing the expected family contribution with the new student aid index, shifting how college costs are calculated and how families can prepare.

Get ready to dive into the nuances of the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), its role in college marketing, its simplification, and why even those who might not expect to qualify for aid should still fill it out.

Heidi brings us personal stories from the frontlines of college tours and campus visits, insights into the often-overlooked details of financial aid packages, and the finer points of scholarship stacking and its pitfalls.

Please enjoy my conversation with Heidi King.
