The Burgeoning Financial Aid Gap

Parents, students, families suffered economically during the Covid-19 worldwide freak-out.  Not only did they suffer from the downturn, so did colleges and universities.

Financial aid gaps that existed before the Pandemic of 2020 will be even greater now and for the foreseeable future.

Schools with small endowments, schools that offer lesser amounts of free money (scholarships, awards, and grants), schools overly dependent on foreign students who may not return, and schools heavily reliant on tuition to cover expenses, will find themselves in highly precarious financial situations.

Accordingly, the aid offered by these schools will be lower.  Lower aid offers result in even higher need on the part of families and students.

The traditional options to cover the gap will be the same as they were before the pandemic.  And those options typically will result in an even higher student debt load.

Let’s face facts – the traditional, conventional ways to pay for an education don’t serve the needs of the family and they haven’t for quite some time.  Traditional and conventional just doesn’t work any longer.
