FAP929: Digital Foundations for Career Success
Download the MP3 file here.
I’ve really been enjoying these single topic, focused podcasts we’ve been doing the last 3 weeks, and I think I’m going to keep that format rolling, as opposed to a summary of the news, which you can get daily at the Financial Aid News, along with daily scholarship listings. Instead, I’d like the Financial Aid Podcast to evolve into more “evergreen” topics that will be useful no matter when you hear them.
On Tuesday I had the opportunity to speak to students …

FAP925: A lesson to remember from September 11
Today’s Financial Aid Podcast is going to be different than usual, on account of the fact that it’s September 11, 2009, eight years after a day that we can’t and shouldn’t forget. No scholarships or Scholarship Points today or mentions about business as usual, because there’s more important stuff to talk about.
There will, of course, be plenty of regular media coverage about the day, be plenty of stories. It’s sobering to think that some of you listening today were 9 or 10 years …

Student Financial Aid News
From Forbes Magazine:
“Most states have quasi-governmental agencies that monitor the status of federally subsidized student loans and administer loan forgiveness programs for those who follow certain career paths,” Forbes reports. “Many of these agencies temporarily foot the bill for loan forgiveness before being reimbursed by the federal government.
